In the battle between the three and the six seeds, the Jazz would know that one of the Los Angeles Clippers or Lakers would be eliminated in the first round, clearing either LeBron James and Anthony Davis, or Kawhi Leonard and Paul George out of the playoff picture long before the Jazz would have to face either duo.
LeBron James' absences from the Nuggets and Clippers games were considered excused by the Lakers to allow James time to "stay off the ankle," a source with knowledge of the situation tells ESPN. As mentioned, there is also value to the Lakers slipping to the seventh seed and having to face the Suns in the opening round if the Jazz were to earn the top seed, but even the chance that the Lakers could lose the first play-in game, and win the second to face the Jazz in the opening round should make this scenario I laid out more advantageous.
Finally, the fourth and the fifth seed matchup would put the Nuggets against the Dallas Mavericks, with the winner facing the Jazz in the second round. Denver has had a better season than Dallas, and Jokic has probably been the best player in the NBA, so there is logic to preferring to see Dallas in the second round. On the other hand, the playoffs often come down to the ability to generate points on the perimeter which Dallas can do with Doncic, and the Nuggets might struggle to do without Murray.
This guy is just ridiculous pic. With that in mind, the Jazz are likely picking their poison between who they would want to face in the second round, but my gut tells me Denver is the easier draw.
While the Jazz would be dealing with either Denver or Dallas assuming they make it past the first round , the other side of the postseason bracket would likely pair the Suns against the Clippers with either Leonard and George or Chris Paul and Devin Booker getting eliminated before the Conference Finals.
The Clippers have been a bad matchup for the Suns so far this season, winning the opening two games of the series when all four All-Stars were playing. The Jazz are against these teams this season having so far split the series with the Nuggets while winning their only matchup against the Lakers. The Jazz will face Los Angles twice in the coming week, though neither game should be indicative of what a playoff series would look like.
The Nuggets meanwhile suffered an enormous blow to their championship hopes earlier this when guard Jamal Murry went down with a season-ending ACL injury.
The Nuggets and Lakers have split the season series so far, with the final matchup being played in Los Angeles on May 3 which could serve as a first-round series preview. To date, the Clippers have won both meetings between the two teams with the final game being played on April 28 in Los Angeles.
With the teams projected to finish just 1.
