On Thursday night, the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets will play Game 6 of their second-round playoff series in Arizona. 

For the game, both teams have finalized their injury reports and starting lineups.

The Nuggets have upgraded Jamal Murray to available, and no one else is on their injury report, so they are fully healthy for Game 6.

As for the Suns, they will be without starting point guard Chris Paul, who will miss his fourth straight game to a groin injury, while starting center Deandre Ayton is also out with a rib injury. 

NBA's official injury report 

The starting lineups for both teams have been relayed by Underdog NBA

Via Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Nuggets will start Murray, Caldwell-Pope, Porter Jr., Gordon, Jokic on Thursday."

Via Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Suns will start Payne, Shamet, Booker, Durant, Landale on Thursday."

The Suns are on the verge of elimination, as the Nuggets have a 3-2 lead in the series. 

That said, neither team has been able to win a game away from home, so if the trend continues then the Nuggets will host Game 7 back in Denver on Sunday. 

Most recently, the Nuggets beat the Suns in Denver (118-102) on Tuesday. 

The Suns will need Kevin Durant and Devin Booker to step up with Paul and Ayton out of the lineup. 

Durant and Booker were sensational in Games 2 and 3 on their home floor in Phoenix. 

The winner of the series will advance to the Western Conference Finals and face off against either the Golden State Warriors or the Los Angeles Lakers.
