The LA Clippers host the Denver Nuggets in Game 4 today, intent on extending their series lead to 3 games to 1.

The two teams had split the first two games, each decided by an average margin of just 2.5 points.
L.A. has carried over its strong play from the end of the regular season into the first round, thanks largely to a healthy Kawhi Leonard, who’s averaging 27.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.7 steals in the series.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets are battling injuries. Michael Porter Jr. (shoulder) is available but may not be at full strength. Russell Westbrook (foot) will not play today.
Nikola Jokic has recorded triple-doubles in each of the last two games — both of which ended in losses for Denver. Turnovers have been a problem, particularly for Jokic, who committed seven in Game 2. Denver will need to protect the ball better to even the series — otherwise, it could slip away for good.
Tonight will likely end up with a Clippers win — and L.A. will win the series in 6.
