LA Clippers Preview
The LA Clippers, 36-37, have been one of the most resilient teams this season. Despite facing multiple setbacks and losing Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, they have stayed competitive and fighting to get into the playoffs. With just nine games left, the Clippers will hope to keep their impressive performances on as they seek to reach the postseason.
The likes of Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris Sr. have shone for the team this season. They have led the unit well and will be hope to end the regular season on a high. The Clippers' defense has been solid, but the offense is where the fireworks have been lacking.
Coach Ty Lue will hope to address that as they continue their pursuit of making the postseason.

Denver Nuggets Preview
The Denver Nuggets, 42-30, have been riding on the brilliance of Nikola Jokis this season. He has replicated his brilliance from his MVP campaign in 2021-21 and is once again leading the race to win the trophy. The Nuggets have also gotten contributions from the likes of Will Barton, Monte Morris, Aaron Gordon and rookie Bones Hyland.
With positive reports emerging about Jamal Murray, the Nuggets are set to make a lot of noise in the postseason. If the guard returns for the playoffs, the team from Denver could be a tough nut to crack.
His ability to shoot and create plays for teammates is impressive. Having already proven his postseason ability, Murray's presence would certainly be a great boost for the team.
