The Minnesota Timberwolves will host the Denver Nuggets on Thursday at the Target Center in Minneapolis for Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals on Thursday.

Just three games ago, the defending champions, the Denver Nuggets, appeared to be in dire straits. Facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, they found themselves trailing 0-2 after suffering consecutive defeats at home, including a resounding loss in Game 2.

However, the Nuggets have since executed a remarkable turnaround, securing three consecutive victories, none of which were closely contested, placing them on the cusp of returning to the Western Conference finals.

In Tuesday’s Game 5 triumph, Nikola Jokic delivered a stellar performance, propelling the Nuggets to victory. Yet, it's noteworthy that most of the Nuggets' supporting cast has also elevated their play. With the momentum firmly in their favor, Denver is once again considered the favorite to advance to the NBA Finals.

A pivotal opportunity awaits the Nuggets as they aim to clinch the series with a victory in Minnesota on Thursday. Here is a look at their injury report for Game 6.
