Tuesday's lone game in the West saw the No. 4 seed Denver Nuggets race past the No. 5 seed LA Clippers in front of a raucous home crowd to take a 3-2 lead in the series. The Clippers are now in must-win mode as Game 6 shifts back to Intuit Dome on Thursday.

The firepower on this Cavs team is off the charts. Mitchell and Garland are both high-end scorers and creators. Mobley's offense blossomed in the year he won DPOY. Allen provides the rim runs that keep attention and bodies occupied inside. And there's plenty of shooting among the role players around those four.

Both Cleveland and Indiana boast deep rosters that deliver in the clutch, which should make for a competitive semifinals clash.
