This is a massive game.

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

The Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves face off tonight in a game that will likely determine the fate of the Western Conference's first seed. There are some major names on the injury report, too.

The Nuggets have eight players listed on their injury report: Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Aaron Gordon, Vlatko Cancar, Zeke Nnaji, Michael Porter Jr., and Julian Strawther.

Nikola Jokic is probable with left hip inflammation, Jamal Murray is questionable with right knee inflammation, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is probable with a right shoulder strain, Aaron Gordon is questionable with a right foot strain, Vltako Cancar is out with left knee surgery, Zeke Nnaji is probable with right adductor tendinosis, Michael Porter Jr. is probable with right knee tendinopathy, and Julian Strawther is probable with a right ankle sprain.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have two players listed on their injury report: Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jaylen Clark. Karl-Anthony Towns is out with a left meniscus tear, but he's expected to return soon. Jaylen Carlk is out due to right Achilles tendon rupture rehab. Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert are both listed as available against the Denver Nuggets.

whoever wins tonight's game will have sole possession of the first seed. While Anthony Edwards said it was a major game, Nikola Jokic completely downplayed the significance of the game. The loser of this game also has a legitimate chance of falling to the third seed, as well.

The Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves face off at 10:00 p.m. EST tonight.
