The NBA playoffs' second round is on the horizon, but before that, two highly anticipated Game 7s await this weekend. The LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets, as well as the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, are all set for do-or-die battles. Each team has its own path to victory and challenges to overcome.

The Clippers need to rely on their effective lineup and strategies, while the Nuggets must utilize their size and physicality. For the Warriors, their playoff experience could be a game-changer, but they need to solve the Rockets' zone defense. The Rockets, on the other hand, must continue their physical play and capitalize on their defensive efforts.

The fatigue factor and lineup combinations will play crucial roles in determining the outcome of these intense matchups.
