The Timberwolves are 5-11-1 ATS in their last 17 Wednesday games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. The over is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 overall. The over is 13-3 in Nuggets last 16 overall. The Timberwolves are 21-6 ATS in the last 27 meetings in Denver.

The Minnesota Timberwolves aren't playing good ball right now, as they've lost five of their last six games, and they're losing their last five games by an average of 12 points. However, the Denver Nuggets remain the most banged up team in the league, and their results have been spotty because of it. Despite being let down a lot, I'm still a believer in these Timberwolves and believe they can get it together this season to make a run for a potential playoff spot. I still see value in Minnesota in the underdog role. Give me the points.
