SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks now have an official tip time for Thursday night’s Game 6.
The two teams will face one another in their opening-round playoff matchup in Utah at 8 pm MST.
However, the NBA has yet to decide which national outlet will televise Game 6 between the Jazz and the Mavericks.
The @utahjazz and @dallasmavs will play Game 6 on Thursday in Utah at 8 pm MST.
The game will be on TNT unless the Mia/Atl and Phi/Tor series both go to a Game 6.
In that case, the game will be on NBATV.

According to the league, if the Toronto Raptors and Philadephia 76ers opening-round series goes to a Game 6, and the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks first-round matchup goes to a Game 6, then the Jazz and Mavericks will be pushed to NBATV.
If either series, or both are decided in five games, the Jazz and Mavericks will face off on TNT.
Currently, the 76ers lead the Raptors 3-1 in their opening-round matchup, and the Heat lead the Hawks 3-1, with the series’ heading back to Philadelphia and Miami for closeout opportunities for the home team.
Game 6 between the Jazz and the Mavericks will also be a closeout game for whichever team wins Game 5 on Monday night.
The Jazz won Game 1 in the series before the Mavericks answered with wins in Games 2 and 3. With Luka Doncic returning to the floor for Dallas in Game 4, it appeared the Mavericks had a chance to take a commanding 3-1 series lead.
The @utahjazz seemed to right every regular season wrong in their stellar 100-99 victory over the @dallasmavs.
On changing the narrative, Doncic's return, and the series shifting to Dallas. #TakeNote | @kslsports https://t.co/UedHKuKM7B

However, the Jazz emerged with an impressive 100-99 victory to even the matchup and send the series back to Dallas for the critical Game 5.
In addition to either TNT or NBATV, Game 6, and a potential Game 7 if necessary will be broadcast on AT&T SportsNet.
The Jazz and Mavericks will have a tip time in Game 5 Monday at 7:30 pm MT and can be heard on KSL NewsRadio and The Zone Sports Network. The game will be televised on TNT, AT&T SportsNet, and FuboTV.
