The NBA Playoffs are on the schedule as the Utah Jazz will clash with the Denver Nuggets. This series is a win or go home situation in the Western Conference playoffs down in the Sunshine State. The sixth-seeded Utah Jazzis the “road” team in the bubble as they take on the third-seeded Denver Nuggets Tuesday evening with a chance to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

The Jazz will look to close things out and advance to the Western Conference semifinals for the third time in the last four seasons. They did not have a good start in this series but managed to turn the tide. Now they have a great chance to progress to the next round.
Donovan Mitchell led the Jazz with 51 points, four rebounds and seven assists in the last victory against the Nuggets.
