Yeah, me neither until I looked at both of their schedules. Another scenario would be that the clippers lose both of their games and Denver goes 2-1

The possible scenarios for a non Clippers matchup in the first round:
Mavs win out, Utah loses out
Denver wins out
Also, I'm not sure of any of the potential tiebreakers but if Houston wins out and the clippers lose out they are tied and if OKC loses out and the Mavs win out they are tied.
Moral of the story, a matchup against the clippers is almost guaranteed to happen. But, far less likely things in the NBA and even in the bubble (who would've thought T.J. Warren would look like Steph Curry in the middle of the Warriors dynasty) have happened. Go Nuggets!
Interesting though that Denver controls their own destiny. I didn't realize that.
