Quote:

The Denver Nuggets could give themselves a big push toward their fourth consecutive playoff appearance when they visit the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.

Denver (39-36) has a 1 1/2 game lead over the Clippers (37-37) for the seventh spot in the Western Conference standings, and trail the sixth-place Los Angeles Lakers by just one-half game. All three teams are trying to fend off the Golden State Warriors, who are in ninth place - one game back of the Clippers.

The Nuggets have seven games left in the regular season while the Clippers have eight. The Lakers and Warriors each have six contests remaining.

Denver comes into Saturday's game having won four straight, including a 75-71 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. The Nuggets shot a dismal 35.5 percent from the field and the 75 points were a season low, but Carmelo Anthony stole Dirk Nowitzki's pass and hit two free throws with nine seconds left to seal the win.

Key Notes: If Denver win this match, they will take the 6th spot in the playoff race from the LA Lakers.
