Defensive reinforcements may be arriving for the Nuggets, and just in time for Ant Man’s arrival.

The NBA playoffs offer a life raft. Teams motivated to win. And yet you need an IT guy and a credit card to find the games.

Here’s the full schedule for the Nuggets’ first-round series against Minnesota.

“This was not a place to have an ego all season, but post-regular season, it’s even less of that,” Valanciunas said of his playoff role.

The Nuggets that Minnesotans have labeled an easy mark didn’t have this version of Peyton Watson two years ago. Or this version of Julian Strawther. Or Bruce Brown. Or Cam Johnson. Or Jonas Valanciunas. Or Tim Hardaway Jr.

After a bizarre final weekend of the regular season filled with plot twists, the Nuggets ended up with the matchup they were projected to land anyway for most of the last week.
