On May 3, the NBA playoffs continued. The Clippers and the Nuggets will usher in a tiebreaker tomorrow. According to ESPN's prediction, the Clippers who play away are detrimental. However, based on the Clippers' resume and some rules in the NBA in recent years, the Clippers seem to be on the advantageous side.

In the series between the Clippers and the Nuggets, the Clippers first lost overtime away, and then G2 defeated the Nuggets home court with Leonard's outstanding performance. Then they won a big victory to defend the home G3. The Clippers G4 almost completed a 22-point comeback, but was defeated by Gordon's fill, Murray's explosion helped the Nuggets defend the victory of Tianwang Mountain. Harden and Leonard combined to help the Clippers equalize the score, so that the two teams will have to usher in the first tiebreak battle this season's NBA playoffs tomorrow!

According to the G7 winning rate prediction given by the famous media ESPN, the probability of winning the Nuggets playing at home is 56.5%, while the probability of winning the Clippers playing away is only 43.5%. Obviously, this is a set of data that is not very favorable for the Clippers. It is worth mentioning that ESPN's prediction is relatively accurate at least in this series between the Clippers and the Nuggets.

However, despite this, there are still many data and rules that are very beneficial to the Clippers. For example, in NBA history, teams with home games have a tiebreak record of 112 wins and 39 losses, but they have 4 wins and 8 losses since 2021. The winning rate of the two main players is exactly 50%: Harden's previous career tiebreak record of 3 wins and 3 losses, Thunder's 1 wins and 0 losses, Rockets' 2 wins and 1 losses, Nets' 0 wins and 1 losses, and 76ers' 0 wins and 1 losses: Leonard's previous career tiebreak record of 3 wins and 3 losses, among which the Clippers have 1 wins and 1 losses.

The biggest lucky star comes from Clippers coach Tyron Lu. According to statistics, Tyron Lu has won 4 wins and 0 losses in his tiebreak in the seventh game in his coaching career, and has never lost so far. This includes such crucial games such as the 2016 Finals G7 and the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals G7, which is enough to show Tyron Lu's ability to control such a big scene.

In addition, according to statistics, in the previous nine years of playoffs, teams won the away tiebreak. They are: 24 years of Timberwolves, 23 years of Heat, 22 years of Celtics, 21 years of Bucks, 20 years of Nuggets, 20 years of Trail Blazers, 20 years of Warriors, 20 years of Jazz, and 20 years of Cavaliers.
