In this story:

The Denver Nuggets enter Sunday afternoon with the hopes of dropping down into the dreaded 3-1 hole against the LA Clippers.

The Nuggets are currently trailing in the series 1-2, after dropping Game 3 on Thursday night. Denver started the game with the lead and some hot shooting from Aaron Gordon, but later went cold for an extended period of time, allowing the Clippers to go on a run late in the first and into the second quarter.

The Nuggets were never able to recover the ground they lost in that stretch and only fell further behind in the game as it progressed. Nikola Jokic did his best to pull the team up, totaling a triple-double with 23 points, 12 rebounds, 13 assists, and 1 steal on 64/67/75 shooting splits; however, the combined bench scoring six points was no match for the 31 points the Clippers' bench poured in.

The Nuggets are coming into Game 4 with three players listed on the injury report: Russell Westbrook, Michael Porter Jr., and DaRon Holmes II.

Nikola Jokic is AVAILABLE.

Russell Westbrook is currently listed as QUESTIONABLE due to left foot inflammation.
