Fri May 02 03:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Nuggets Eye Series Clinch in Game 6 Against Clippers; Westbrook, Porter Jr. to Play
**Los Angeles, CA** – The Denver Nuggets will look to close out their first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night in Game 6. A win would send Denver to the second round against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Clippers, however, need a victory to stave off elimination.
Adding to Denver’s optimism, both Russell Westbrook and Michael Porter Jr. will be available for Game 6, despite recent injury concerns. Westbrook, who battled right foot inflammation, returned to action in Game 5 and will be ready to contribute. Porter Jr. will also play through a left shoulder sprain that he’s managed throughout the series. The return of these key players gives the Nuggets a fully healthy core heading into the crucial matchup.
Game 5 saw dominant performances from Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic, setting the stage for a potential series-clinching victory in Los Angeles. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. EST on TNT.
