Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Nuggets are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but it’s the Timberwolves who are the healthier team. The Nuggets have failed to cover seven of their last 10 games, and it’s the Timberwolves that have won five straight games against evener. One of those wins came a couple of weeks ago on the road. The Timberwolves are also coming off an emotional, physical game against the Pistons, the sort of performance that could light the spark over these next couple of weeks. I’m high on the Nuggets and think they can make a run if they can get healthy. I’m still grabbing the bucket with the Timberwolves.
