The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers are meeting in one of the most intriguing matchups in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. The first two games lived up to the hype with the Nuggets taking Game 1 in overtime and the Clippers pulling out Game 2 in a thriller to send the series back to Los Angeles tied at 1-1.

Russell Westbrook has been a crucial part of the Nuggets bench, but they might need to try and close out the Clippers without him.

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.
