Kerry Anne Keogh, in-game host for the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena, said there's going to be lots of fun to be had if you're heading to one of the games.  

'We'll have our Playoff Plaza going on outside the arena, opening an hour before doors, so come down early to Ball Arena and have some fun outside with Rocky, the dancers. Our sport court will be out," said Keogh.
