When is Game 7 between the Timberwolves and Nuggets?

Because the New York Knicks lost to the Indiana Pacers on Friday night in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference playoff series, the seventh game of the Timberwolves-Nuggets series will be held Sunday night in Denver.

The Wolves and Nuggets will play at 7 p.m. Sunday and be televised on TNT. The Pacers-Knicks Game 7 in New York will be played at 2:30 p.m. Sunday and televised on ABC.

Even though the Wolves dominated the Nuggets in Game 6, the early oddsmakers have the Nuggets as five-point favorites to win Game 7 at home and move onto the Western Conference finals.

Denver, of course, is the defending NBA champion.

The Western Conference final series would start on Wednesday. If Oklahoma City advances, it would host the first two games. If Dallas advances — the Mavericks hold a 3-2 series lead going into Saturday night's Game 6 in Texas — it would be on the road at either Denver or Minnesota.
