The Denver Nuggets face off against the LA Clippers in a crucial matchup that the Nuggets should have a major advantage.

The Nuggets have five players listed on their injury report: Nikola Jokic, Vlatko Cancar, Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, and Zeke Nnaji. Nikola Jokic is probable with left hip inflammation and right wrist inflammation, Vlatko Cancar is out with left knee surgery, Aaron Gordon is probable with a right foot strain, Jamal Murray is questionable with right knee inflammation, and Zeke Nnaji is doubtful with right adductor tendonitis. Jamal Murray has not played in a game since March 21 against the New York Knicks.

The LA Clippers have two players listed on their injury report: Kawhi Leonard and Joshua Primo. Kawhi Leonard is out for a second game straight with right knee soreness. It's an injury that seemed to appear out of nowhere before the team faced off against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Joshua Primo is out due to a left ankle sprain, but he seldom played for LA. James Harden, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook are all listed as available.

If the Denver Nuggets lose tonight, they'll be half a game away from the first seed and half a game away from the third seed. However, the Nuggets eight out of the nine games against the Clippers and have a 2-1 regular season advantage against them. If there's a team that the Nuggets are comfortable against, it's the Clippers.

The Denver Nuggets and LA Clippers face off at 10:00 p.m. EST tonight.
