The Denver Nuggets are back on the road and heading to Los Angeles for the last time this Thursday night, as they take on the LA Clippers for Game 6 of their first-round playoff series.

The Nuggets have won the last two games in a row against the Clippers. The first in Game 4 was a tough grind-it-out win that saw the Nuggets squander a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter. However, due to the last-second heroics of Aaron Gordon, the Nuggets were able to secure the two-point win.

Game 5 was a wire-to-wire victory for the Nuggets, having never trailed the Clippers once in the game and keeping a safe margin of distance in the score throughout the game. Jamal Murray stepped up to the plate in a big way, as he accumulated his sixth 40-point playoff game of his career.

But it was Russell Westbrook who provided the extra burst of energy off the bench with 21 points on 53/50/100 shooting splits. No other player from the Nuggets bench scored more than two points.

The Nuggets are coming into Game 6 with a clean injury report containing one player: DaRon Holmes II.
