Game Preview

The Timberwolves are still unsure which players will be available for this event. Their brawl against the Pistons is still waiting for the epilogue, and there will definitely be some fines.

Minnesota has back-to-back wins, one against the Phoenix Suns, 124-109, and the other against the Pistons, 123-104. Both were at home, where they played way better than on the road, where the T-Wolve’s record sits at 20-16.

Denver Nuggets oscillate a lot, though, they won the previous pair of games. The first triumph was against the Milwaukee Bucks, 127-117, and the second over the Utah Jazz, 129-93. Nikola Jokic’s long three was the highlight reel from this one.

Mike Malone’s team is second in scoring, with 123 points per game. However, the defense is poor, allowing 116 buckets.

Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Betting Trends

  • TOTAL went OVER in 5 of Minnesota’s last 6 NBA games.
  • T-Wolves are 11-3 STRAIGHT UP
  • Nuggets are 1-9 AGAINST THE SPREAD in the previous 10 home events.
  • TOTAL went OVER in 5 of the most recent 6 of Denver’s games.

Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Head to Head

The Timberwolves have won the last five direct clashes against the Nuggets. Three were this season: 119-116 and 133-104 in Minneapolis, and 115-95 in Denver.

Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Predictions

The Timberwolves’ shortened rotation will surely affect their level of intensity. The Nuggets’ five-game losing streak against them is another reason why we want to back Jokic and the boys.
