The Denver Nuggets host the Los Angeles Clippers for a do-or-die Game 7 Sunday night in Denver. Los Angeles staved off elimination with a 111-105 victory in Game 6 behind a combined 55 points from stars Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. Nuggets three-time MVP Nikola Jokic's 25 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists were not enough, as Denver could not close the deal.

Los Angeles knows winning in Denver won't be easy, and every possibility must be explored to secure victory. Nothing is more evident of that than the starting lineup for Game 7. Guard Kris Dunn started all six games for the Clippers, but head coach Tyronn Lue shook up the lineup with a major change to the starters.
