Albeit Carmello Anthony and company did not get off to a good start in the Western Conference Quarterfinals, they were able to bounce back with a 114-111 win in game two. Thus, the Denver Nuggets will travel to Salt Lake City to take on Deron Williams and the Utah Jazz in game three at EnergySolutions Arena on Monday at 1:30 a.m. GMT.

Even though both the Nuggets and Jazz failed to come out on top in the race for the second seed in the Western Conference, one should not overestimate their fourth and fifth place respectively. More precisely, the second placed Dallas Mavericks recorded just five wins more than the eight placed Oklahoma City Thunder. In other words, apart from the Los Angeles Lakers the audience can expect some highly contested play-off games in the Western Conference. As far as the Jazz are concerned, Jerry Sloan's squad finds itself in the pole position for the remainder of the Western Conference Quarterfinals after stealing one on the road in game one and entering their two game home-stand with the series being tied at one game each.

The Nuggets on the other hand might have to raise their level of play down the stretch in order to advance to the next round. After all, the franchise from Colorado has struggled on the road all year long. In fact, the team around Carmello Anthony and J.R. Smith is the worst road team that made it to the post-season, posting an unsatisfying 19-22 record. Nonetheless, fans around the league should not underestimate Denver, after all they need just one road win in the next few games to take back home-court advantage. One key factor for the Nuggets could very well be rookie Ty Lawson who averaged 7.0 points, 3.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds in the first two games versus the Utah Jazz.
