If the Nuggets win Game 6, they will end the series.

A Timberwolves victory would force a Game 7 on Sunday in Denver.

Whoever wins the series will advance to the Western Conference Finals and face off against either the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Dallas Mavericks. 

The Mavs lead the series 3-2 with Game 6 on Saturday evening in Dallas, Texas.

Last season, the Nuggets beat the Timberwolves in the first round (in five games), before winning the 2023 NBA Championship over Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.
