Option 3
If Mavs, Nuggets, and Jazz all end up with the same record:
When would that happen
Mavs go 0-3
Jazz go 2-1
Nuggets go 2-0
tiebreakers
1. Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division)
2. Best head-to-head winning percentage among all teams tied
First they would have to break the tie for division leader. Jazz were 4-0 against the Nuggets, so they would be the division winner and get 4th. Mavs break the tie with the Nuggets based on record ( 2-1 record vs. the Nuggets). Nuggets again end up 6th.
Result
4) Jazz
5) Mavs
6) Nuggets
Option 4
If the Nuggets can tie us and beat the Jazz, then Mavs/Nuggets would have a tiebreaker
When would that happen
Mavs go 0-3
Jazz go 1-2 or 0-3
Nuggets go 2-0
Nuggets would take the division, however, the first tiebreaker in a two-team tiebreaker is record. Mavs are 2-1 against the Nuggets.
Result
4) Mavs
5) Nuggets
6) Jazz
