Denver Nuggets Preview


Nikola Jokić Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets blew a chance to close it out in Game 6 — an uninspired third quarter and dismal free-throw shooting denied them in Los Angeles. Yet Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have done all the heavy lifting for the Nuggets, with 46 points between them when they played last. And with home-court advantage and championship credentials on their side, the Nuggets are a confident squad heading into Sunday. Jokic will have to establish himself early, and the other key players will have to respond lest the cycle of letdown repeats.


Denver Nuggets Starting Lineup – Murray, Braun, Porter Jr, Gordon, Jokic


Los Angeles Clippers Preview


Ivica Zubac Los Angeles Clippers

Facing elimination, the Clippers responded like seasoned pros in Game 6. James Harden and Kawhi Leonard led the way with a combined 55 points, while Nicolas Batum made a huge impact off the bench with hustle plays that don’t always show on the stat sheet. Tyronn Lue’s team has shown grit all series, and with a win-or-go-home situation ahead, their veterans know how to handle the moment. The big question is whether they can deliver again on the road in Denver.


Los Angeles Clippers Starting Lineup – Harden, Dunn; Powell, Leonard; Zubac
