For the Nuggets, this could be the final run with this core group that won a title just two seasons ago. They will be looking to extend this title window with the group, but a loss could see massive changes come to Denver over the offseason.
For Los Angeles, they are looking to prove themselves in a loaded Western Conference. Entering the year, many around the league were down on the Clippers, but they have silenced a lot of doubters so far.
If the Clippers can get a win, it would help the pairing of Kawhi Leonard and James Harden going forward. With them both being aging stars, the window to win is right now, so the Clippers don't have much time to waste.
Fans should be in store for a great game, and be thankful that both sides will enter this contest healthy enough to compete.
