The Timberwolves are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games and 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 2 days rest. The Nuggets are 19-8 ATS in their last 27 home games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Timberwolves last 5 overall. The under is 12-2 in Nuggets last 14 overall. The Timberwolves are 24-8 ATS in the last 32 meetings in Denver and 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

I don't want to overreact after one game, but the Minnesota Timberwolves looked terrible in game 1 and it was so bad that I'm not excited to look their way in the second contest. The Denver Nuggets didn't even get a great Jokic game and won comfortably. That's bad news for the Timberwolves. The Nuggets win at home by an average of 10.2 points while shooting 51.2 percent from the field. The line is reasonable. Give me the Nuggets in another comfortable win.
