Denver Nuggets-Los Angeles Clippers first round playoff schedule

Apr 14, 2025, 4:39 PM | Updated: Apr 15, 2025, 11:19 am

The Denver Nuggets are in the NBA Playoffs for a seventh-consecutive season, but this run will be a little more closely watched, as the team fired their head coach and general manager with just three games left in the regular season.

The team won those final three games to secure the 4-seed in the playoffs and will face the Los Angeles Clippers.

The two teams faced off four times during the regular season and went 2-2.

The NBA is weird about how they release the playoff schedules, so right now we only know the time and date for game one. Not always the case, but most often the league schedules one day off in-between each game if you’re trying to guess the rest of the schedule:

  • Game 1: Clippers at Nuggets  (Saturday, April 19, 1:30 p.m. MT, ESPN)
  • Game 2: Clippers at Nuggets, TBA
  • Game 3: Nuggets at Clippers, TBA
  • Game 4: Nuggets at Clippers, TBA
  • Game 5: Clippers at Nuggets, TBA*
  • Game 6: Nuggets at Clippers, TBA*
  • Game 7: Clippers at Nuggets, TBA*
