We are updating team formations and lineups for the Denver Nuggets vs. LA Clippers game in real-time. The starting lineups are yet to be announced.

Michael Porter Jr. has been listed as probable for Game 5. While he is expected to start, the Nuggets’ starting roster is likely to comprise Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokić, Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, and Michael Porter Jr. Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac, James Harden, Norman Powell, and Kris Dunn are expected to start for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Both teams have played a total of 197 regular-season games against each other, with the Denver Nuggets leading in the head-to-head statistics with 110 wins to the LA Clippers' 87 wins. The Clippers have won 9 playoff games against the Nuggets' 7.

The Denver Nuggets needed an Aaron Gordon slam with 0.01 seconds left in Game 4 to tie the series 2-2. The slam, from a missed airball from Nikola Jokić, needed reviewing from the NBA's replay center to be ascertained as good as the Nuggets avoided blowing a 22-point lead. In what has been a tight series from the West's 4th and 5th seeds, home court advantage is rarely enough, as both teams have beaten each other on the road. The Clippers have found it difficult to keep Nikola Jokić at bay, with the three-time MVP drawing away defenders from doing their job. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue needs to find a pattern to contain the Joker to survive three series. The Clippers are slight favorites ahead of Game 5, expected to move ahead after an excellent comeback last time out. Read more here.
