The Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves meet Sunday in Game 4 of the NBA West First Round Playoffs at the Target Center. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Denver Nuggets are averaging 117 points on 52.1 percent shooting and allowing 101.3 points on 44.4 percent shooting. Jamal Murray is averaging 27.3 points and 5.7 rebounds, while Nikola Jokic is averaging 20 points and 11.3 rebounds. Michael Porter Jr. is the third double-digit scorer and Aaron Gordon is grabbing 7.3 rebounds. The Denver Nuggets are shooting 41.9 percent from beyond the arc and 76.4 percent from the free throw line. The Denver Nuggets are allowing 37.2 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43.3 rebounds per game.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are averaging 101.3 points on 44.4 percent shooting and allowing 117 points on 52.1 percent shooting. Anthony Edwards is averaging 31.7 points and 3.7 rebounds, while Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging 16 points and 1.7 assists. Rudy Gobert is the third double-digit scorer and Mike Conley is grabbing 2.3 rebounds. The Minnesota Timberwolves are shooting 37.2 percent from beyond the arc and 77 percent from the free throw line. The Minnesota Timberwolves are allowing 41.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35 rebounds per game.

The Nuggets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Timberwolves are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games and 18-8 ATS in their last 26 Sunday games. The under is 12-4 in Nuggets last 16 overall. The under is 11-5-1 in Timberwolves last 17 home games. The Nuggets are 24-7-1 ATS in the last 32 meetings in Minnesota and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

The Minnesota Timberwolves just can't get all of their teammates rolling to finish a game. It feels like every game has been there for the Timberwolves, but nobody besides Edwards can raise their game to close things out. Also, the Denver Nuggets are getting anything and everything they want offensively in this series, shooting a healthy percentage from everywhere and having 6 double-digit scorers. I have no choice but to lay the small bucket with the Nuggets for the sweep.
