The Jazz and Nuggets are tied at 1-1. The return of Mike Conley could possibly swing the series in Utah's favor.
During the regular season, Conley appeared in 47 games for the Jazz. He averaged 14.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists while shooting 40.9 percent from the field, 37.5 percent from beyond the arc and 82.7 percent from the free-throw line.
Conley played in six seeding games for the Jazz. He put up 18.0 points, 3.0 boards and 5.0 assists in 32.0 minutes per game. It was encouraging to see since the veteran guard struggled during the regular season in his first year with the Jazz.
The Nuggets-Jazz series is set up to be a physical series moving forward. Games 1 and 2 were really fun to watch, with Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray going off.
Now that Conley is back, the Jazz have another explosive scorer in the backcourt next to Mitchell.
