The Nuggets don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Timberwolves and the points are worth a look when you consider they’ve won 6 straight games against the Nuggets. The problem is the Timberwolves are on the end of a back-to-back, and there’s a chance they could be without Ant-Man after he left last night’s game with a hamstring issue. The Nuggets are healthy and rested. You should check the injury report before locking in a bet, but at the time of the writing, I’m going to assume Edwards is out. I’ll lay the points with the Nuggets.
