The Denver Nuggets are at home on Tuesday night as they host the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 5 of their first round series.
Of course, Tuesday’s game is a crucial one for both teams as the series is tied up at two games apiece, meaning that one of the team will take the series lead with a chance to close it out in Game 6 on Thursday.
Denver won Game 1 of the series in overtime but then lost Game 2 and 3, allowing Los Angeles to take the lead in the series.
The Nuggets were then able to bounce back on Saturday as they defeated the Clippers on a buzzer-beating dunk by Aaron Gordon after Nikola Jokic could not get his three-pointer to fall.
Denver now enters Tuesday’s home game looking to use their home court to their advantage as they try to take a 3-2 series lead.
Unfortunately for Denver, they may be without two of their key players as they have listed both Russell Westbrook and Michael Porter Jr. on their injury report.
Westbrook is listed as questionable due to left foot inflammation that he suffered in pregame warmups ahead of Game 3.
The former MVP was sidelined for Game 4 but he could be in line to make his return on Tuesday, which would be great for Denver after Westbrook’s solid play in the series.
Denver has also listed Michael Porter Jr. as probable due to a left shoulder sprain and hie is expected to play on Tuesday night.

Of course, Porter Jr. suffered the injury in Game 2 and has been able to play through it thus far as he has played a key role in the Nuggets’ success.
On the other side, the Clippers enter Tuesday’s game with a healthy roster as they have nobody listed on their injury report.
Fans can catch Tuesday’s Game 5 matchup between the Clippers and Nuggets at 10:00 p.m. EST on TNT.
