Would the Denver Nuggets or the Utah Jazz be the better playoff matchup for the Dallas Mavericks? Our staff discusses this topic at length.

If made to pick, avoiding the team with the MVP candidate in the first round would likely be the preferred outcome since much of a playoff series is dictated by the superstars. And if the odds are in the favor of Dallas? Well, count me in. The Mavs guards, led by Luka Doncic, should feast in a series with Denver, and they have enough long, athletic defenders to make Jokic uncomfortable at the very least. With Doncic, there’s going to be a very good chance of Dallas winning either series. Dalton Trigg: I flip-flop on this a lot, because on one hand, the Jazz seem to be imploding as a team - although they have looked a little bit better as of late against shorthanded opponents. The Mavericks are outstanding, but they also perform like a well-oiled machine because the pieces fit just right. If I have to pick one though, I’ll go with the Nuggets. If they had Jamal Murray, my choice might be different. Kirk Henderson: Angling to play anyone is a dangerous business for a team like this one. Utah has blown many fourth-quarter leads this season, and Donovan Mitchell doesn’t seem to get the ball to Rudy Gobert as much as he should, especially when Gobert has a smaller defender on him. Over the course of a potential seven-game series, I tend to think Jason Kidd can devise a defense to limit The Joker enough for the Mavs to prevail. Although Western Conference standings aren’t completely set yet, we already know that the Mavs will be facing either the Utah Jazz or Denver Nuggets in the first round. Does it really matter who they play in the first round this time around given Luka Doncic’s current level of play?

It was clear that the Nuggets had much more to play for and needed this win after a tough loss against the Spurs. At the end of the day, Grizzlies fans should not be worried about this loss. It was a bad night, which the Grizzlies have avoided for much of the season. He scored 8 points in the third quarter and tried to get the Grizzlies back into the game; however, it was not enough to turn the tide once the Nuggets built their lead. Jaren Jackson Jr. was able to get to the rim pretty well and gave the Nuggets some matchup problems early on. It was more of the same for the Grizzlies as they could not get many stops or get easy buckets in transition that they have thrived on all season. The defensive intensity was not up to the Grizzlies' usual standards as the Nuggets led 70-53 at halftime.
