The Denver Nuggets are at home on Saturday night as they take on the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 7 of their first-round series.
Saturday’s contest is a win-or-go-home game for each side as they both look to keep their championship hopes alive and advance to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round.
Of course, the series has been a back-and-forth one thus far as the Nuggets were unable to clinch the series in Los Angeles on Thursday night, but they will now have an opportunity to do so at home on Saturday.

Denver is 2-1 at home in the series, which includes a blowout victory in Game 5 behind Nikola Jokic’s triple-double and Jamal Murray’s 43 points.
The Nuggets will need their stars to step up once again on Saturday if they want to keep their season alive and they also received some positive news regarding two of their key players ahead of the matchup.
Ahead of Game 7, the Nuggets have not listed Russell Westbrook or Michael Porter Jr. on their injury report and they will be available for Saturday’s game.
This is massive news for Denver as both players have dealt with injuries throughout the series, but they will be able to continue to play through them.
Of course, Westbrook suffered a foot injury in pregame warmups ahead of Game 3 that limited in that contest and kept him out of Game 4.
Despite this, Westbrook has since been able to return and he has played a key role off the bench for the Nuggets.
For Porter Jr., he suffered a left shoulder injury in Game 2 of the series and he has been able to play through it thus far.

While Porter Jr. has been able to play through it, he has struggled at times in the series, especially in Game 6.
For the Clippers, they have nobody listed on their injury report for Game 7 on Saturday.
Fans can catch Saturday’s Game 7 matchup between the Clippers and Nuggets at 7:30 p.m. EST on TNT.
