With the Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets losses and the Oklahoma City Thunder victory last night the Nuggets playoff seeding has been set. They will be the three seed in the Western Conference for the 2020 NBA playoffs. Their opponent has also been determined, the sixth seeded Utah Jazz. This will not be the first time these division rivals have met in the playoffs and the history between the two teams is notable.
First and foremost, they are truly division rivals. In fact, up until recent years, Utah is likely the first name to roll off a Nuggets fan’s tongue when they consider rivals.
