The defending champions Denver Nuggets are getting a rematch of last year’s Western Conference Finals in the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs when they’ll be facing the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nuggets captured the No. 2 seed but missed a shot at the No. 1 seed thanks to a loss to the Spurs late in the regular season. The Lakers are the No. 7 seed after winning the first play-in game once again. Last season, the Nuggets swept the Lakers in the conference finals. Denver won all three games during the regular season between the two sides.
Here’s the full schedule for this first round series in the Western Conference.
