Live coverage: Utah Jazz trail Denver Nuggets 33-32 after flawless first quarter by Nikola Jokic

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz have their first opportunity to close out their first-round NBA playoff series against the Denver Nuggets in Game 5 on Tuesday evening in Orlando.

After losing Game 1 by 10 in overtime, the Jazz have won three straight, the first two in blowout fashion and the third by two on Sunday.

Should Utah win and advance to the second round of the playoffs, it would have a good break, as the LA Clippers-Dallas Mavericks series, of which the Jazz would face the winner of, will go at least six games since it is tied at two games apiece (Game 5 is Tuesday night).

If the Nuggets win Tuesday to force a Game 6, that contest would be on Thursday. There was a possibility that Denver could have starting guard Gary Harris available for the first time in Orlando in Game 5, but he was ruled out a short time before tip off.

Tuesday’s game is set to start at 4:30 p.m. MDT. Follow along with our live coverage below.
