Those who watch the NBA live throughout the regular season eagerly await the playoffs, when the 8 best teams from each franchise compete in best-of-7 games for the chance to reach the ultimate glory: the title of NBA champion.

Before the playoffs, however, the league holds a Play-In, a kind of "playoff" that began in 2020, the year the season ended in a "bubble" due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the Play-In, the franchises that finish seventh to tenth in each of the conferences play a single-game knockout round, like this:

- The 7th-placed team from each conference faces the 8th-placed team. The winner of that game is in the playoffs.

- The 9th-placed team faces the 10th-placed team. The winner of that game earns the right to play for the last playoff spot against the loser of the match between 7th and 8th.

The playoffs use a best-of-seven elimination format. This means that two teams play each other up to seven times, with the team that wins four games advancing to the next round.

In the first round, No. 1 in each conference plays against No. 8, No. 2 plays against No. 7, No. 3 against No. 6, and No. 4 against No. 5. The second round is known as the conference semifinals, and the third round is the conference final. The teams that progress in each conference meet in the NBA Finals to determine the champion.

In each round, the team with the best regular season record is rewarded with home-court advantage. A playoff series follows a 2-2-1-1-1 home/away format. This means that of the seven games in a series, the team with the best record plays games 1, 2, 5 and 7 at home.

Nuggets coach Michael Malone praises Nikola Jokic on his return this season: "I think our biggest concern with Nikola was just him being homesick. We all like to be home with our friends and family, and for him, his horses. Since he's been back, we haven't seen any signs that he's down. He's becoming an even better leader, not just vocally, but with body language. He's in a good place, and because of that, the team is in a good place too. And it's hard not to be. We've had a great campaign. We won a championship. And we've worked hard this week".

On the Thunder side we also have only two absentees, both injured, Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams.

The Nuggets will be without the injured Valtko Cancar and Jay Huff.

At the start of the season, with two wins, the Nuggets share the lead in the Western Conference with the Mavericks, Pelicans and the Thunder.
