The Clippers face a significant challenge in their playoff series against the Nuggets, particularly in defending three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, who averaged a triple-double this season. Clippers center Ivica Zubac acknowledges the difficulty of guarding Jokic, while coach Tyronn Lue plans to employ various defensive strategies. Despite the challenge posed by Jokic, the Clippers have been in strong form, winning 18 of their last 21 games, and have multiple scoring threats, including James Harden, Norman Powell, and Kawhi Leonard, as they aim for playoff success.
