1. A nozzle comprising:
a nozzle assembly defining at least one of a fuel circuit and an air circuit therethrough, wherein the nozzle assembly extends along an injection axis; and
a plurality of supports extending from the nozzle assembly circumferentially spaced apart from one another about the injection axis, wherein each support in the plurality of supports extends along a respective support axis, wherein the support axes are circumferentially spaced apart around an insertion axis along which the nozzle assembly can be inserted during assembly into a combustor dome that is oblique relative to the injection axis, wherein each support includes opposing side faces that are aligned with the insertion axis and oppose one another in a circumferential direction about the insertion axis, wherein an outer air circuit is defined circumferentially between side faces of adjacent pairs of the plurality of supports, outboard of the nozzle assembly, wherein each support includes an end face that faces radially outward relative to the insertion axis, wherein each end face is contained in a respective plane that is parallel to the insertion axis and oblique to the injection axis.
