The Denver Nuggets are set to conclude their regular season series against the Los Angeles Clippers, following a convincing victory in their last matchup. The Nuggets triumphed over the Clippers with a 120-98 score, led by Jamal Murray's impressive performance of 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals. However, as they prepare for this rematch, both teams are dealing with significant injury concerns.

The Clippers have five players on their injury report, including star forward Kawhi Leonard, who is away from the team due to personal reasons linked to the recent LA fires. Other players out include Kai Jones and Trentyn Flowers due to their two-way contracts, Cam Christie who is on a G League assignment, and P.J. Tucker, who is seeking a new team. Meanwhile, the Nuggets have six players listed, with Nikola Jokic's status being particularly scrutinized as he is questionable with an illness. Vlatko Cancar, Aaron Gordon, PJ Hall, and DaRon Holmes are confirmed out, while Spencer Jones is doubtful.
