Given that it’s a best-of-seven series, Games 5-7 have dates every other day after Game 4, but tip times are to be determined as necessary.

Denver will be the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference and Utah the No. 6 seed.

The winner of the Jazz-Nuggets series will go on to play the winner of the LA Clippers-Dallas Mavericks series. The Clippers will be the No. 2 seed in the West and the Mavericks the No. 7 seed.
