Denver Nuggets Predicted Lineup
G - Monte Morris; G - Facundo Compazzo; F - Aaron Gordon; F - Jeff Green; C - Nikola Jokic.
LA Clippers Preview
The LA Clippers have had a lot of injury problems this season. Already missing Kawhi Leonard, the team were dealt another setback when Paul George was ruled out for 3-4 weeks due to an elbow injury.
In his absence, the team has relied on Marcus Morris Sr. to deliver, and the veteran has just done a great job. The team will hope to get another win at home, and continue their campaign on a positive note.

Key Player - Marcus Morris Sr.
Marcus Morris Sr. has been leading the team from the front, since George has been out of action. Although the Clippers have not had great success, Morris' performances have been brilliant.
The 32-year-old had a 15-point performance against the Hawks. He will hope to better that and help the Clippers get back to .500 for the season.
