Aaron Gordon has proven to be a tough matchup for the Clippers, helping him have one of the best scoring stretches of his Nuggets career.

The wild first-round series between the Clippers and Nuggets shifts to Los Angeles on Thursday night.

Kawhi Leonard and Co. are hoping to force a Game 7 back in Denver, and they’ll need to slow down one Nikola Jokic’s top running mates if they want to do so.

Nuggets vs. Clippers Game 6 betting preview

Gordon is averaging 18.2 points on 49.2 percent shooting and 40 percent from 3, providing a much-needed scoring punch behind Jokic and Jamal Murray for the Nuggets, who have surprisingly taken a 3-2 series lead.

He’s been about as consistent as can be during the series, too, scoring at least 14 points in every game while drawing Leonard on the defensive end.

Gordon’s increase in scoring actually draws back to late in the regular season, when the veteran forward provided more and more on the offensive end as he got healthy during the spring months.

After the All-Star break, Gordon averaged 18.9 points on an excellent 56.6 percent shooting overall and 45.9 from deep on 4.5 attempts per game.

Betting on the NBA?

Something has clicked with Gordon scoring the ball, and it’s apparently carried over into the postseason.
