The Denver Nuggets are on the road on Thursday night as they take on the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 6 of their first-round series.
Denver enters Thursday’s contest needing a victory to advance to the second round of the playoffs where they will match up against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Of course, the Nuggets dominated Game 5 of the series on their home court on Tuesday night behind an incredible performance by Jamal Murray, who scored 43 points.

Now, Denver will look to steal a game and end the Clippers’ season in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
The Nuggets also received some positive news regarding two of their key players’ health heading into Thursday’s game as they look to wrap up the series.
Those players are Russell Westbrook and Michael Porter Jr., both of whom have been taken off Denver’s injury report.
This is massive news for the Nuggets as both players have been limited by injuries in the series thus far.
Of course, Westbrook appeared to twist his foot ahead of Game 3, causing him to miss most of that game and all of Game 4 due to foot inflammation.
The former MVP winner was able to return in Game 5 and played a key role off the bench and Denver will need him to do that again on Thursday.

For Porter Jr., he suffered a left shoulder sprain in Game 2 and has dealt with the lingering injury ever since, though he has been able to play through it.
While both Westbrook and Porter Jr.’s injuries are likely not fully healed, they will be able to play through them once again as Denver has not listed them on their injury report.
For the Clippers, they enter Thursday’s game with a fully healthy roster as they have nobody listed on their injury report.
Fans can catch Thursday’s Game 6 matchup between the Nuggets and Clippers at 10:00 p.m. EST on TNT.
