One of the more intriguing matchups to watch when the Clippers meet the Nuggets on Saturday afternoon in Denver is between centers Ivica Zubac and Nikola Jokic.
Jokic is a three-time most valuable player and like he has against the entire league, he has given the Clippers fits. In three games last season he averaged nearly a triple-double with 30 points, 16 rebounds and 9.7 assists.
The Clippers, who lost their season opener Wednesday night to the Phoenix Suns, will have their hands full. But they have a plan to some degree, like last season when they split the season series with the Nuggets 2-2.
