The LA Clippers are in Denver on Tuesday night to face the Nuggets, and they will have James Harden available for his 5th game since the trade. Harden is not listed on the injury report, meaning he is good to go for this one.

The Clippers are 0-5 since the Harden trade became official, and 0-4 in games he played in. Looking for their first win since acquiring the star guard, the Clippers will have their work cut out for them against Nikola Jokic and the defending champions on Tuesday night.

This will be an in-season tournament game between LA and Denver, and the Clippers are also looking for their first win of this new format as well. Having dropped their in-season tournament opener to the Dallas Mavericks, the Clippers are looking to get their first win of the tournament on Tuesday night.

The Nuggets are without Jamal Murray, which is a major loss, but Nikola Jokic is playing every bit as good as he was during Denver's title run that saw him win a Finals MVP award. Putting up Wilt Chamberlain-like numbers on seemingly a nightly basis, Jokic will look to continue his dominance over the Clippers.

For LA, they are in desperate need of a win, and beating the defending champions would be quite the way to get their first one of the Harden era.
