What will the NV outcome mean for this race?

If Hillary wins a close race (within 5) I think it means Bernie will be strong in the West and Midwest moving forward, and we're in for a long race maybe going all the way to the convention.

If Hillary wins by 10 or so, coupled with a 15+ point win in SC, I think this race is effectively over by Super Tuesday.

A Bernie win will very bad for Hillary, the only question is how bad. As I said above, a strong showing by Bernie benefits him either way, but a win by Bernie would likely means he has the momentum going into SC. If then gets SC within 10, then he can make a strong argument that he will do well on Super Tuesday (something close to a split of total delegates).
