The NBA playoffs are heating up with two significant Game 7s on the schedule. The LA Clippers face the Denver Nuggets, having forced a Game 7 after a victory in Game 6. Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets managed to stay alive against the Golden State Warriors. Both games will determine which teams progress to the second round. Insider insights suggest that the Clippers may benefit from a small lineup featuring Nicolas Batum, while the Nuggets rely on their physical presence, led by Jokic, to overpower their opponents.
Batum is a much better shooter than Kris Dunn. [He] is a great defensive player. He can guard 1 through 5. I don’t think they lack [anything] defensively with Batum.
The Nuggets are the bigger, more physical team, and when they've made the Clippers feel them, they've exerted their will in this series. That starts with Jokic.
