Michael Porter Jr. and Russell Westbrook remain questionable. MPJ will do on-court work before a determination is made. Sounds like Russ won’t but will be evaluated by the medical staff. FWIW, I don’t remember Russ doing many on-court pregame routines throughout the season. – 4:36 PM

David Adelman says both Russell Westbrook and MPJ are questionable and will determine whether they can play after going through their pregame work. He’s hoping both can play but has prepared the team for very different rotations if one or both can’t go. – 4:35 PM

David Adelman just said he thought Westbrook had a hip injury, but would have to check. Earlier the team said it was foot inflammation. In hockey this would be fine and designated as a lower body injury, but obviously we’ll get more clarity in a bit. – 12:58 AM

The Clippers are never going to guard Russell Westbrook, no matter how many shots he makes….I don’t think he’s playable in this series going forward….All LA is going to do is put his man in Nikola Jokic’s lap – 11:07 PM

LA jacked the lead to 16, but need a timeout after a Porter Jr. corner 3, then a rare above the break 3 from Russell Westbrook
6:23 left in 1st half, LA leads 50-40. – 11:00 PM

Russell Westbrook for three and the Clippers call time as the lead is cut to 50-40……6:23 remaining in the first half – 10:59 PM

The Clippers have hit 9….count them….9 3-pointers in the first quarter and have taken a 35-28 lead……
LA got into Denver’s bench and the score changed very very quickly……The Nuggets got 5 minutes of terrible Russell Westbrook and it really killed their quarter – 10:44 PM

Russell Westbrook is now 0/10 from the field in the non-Murray minutes in this series and just gave up a wide open three to Nic Batum. – 10:43 PM
