Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Preview
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been in great form as they’ve won 10 of their last 14 games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after sneaking past the Clippers in a 94-88 road win on Thursday. Anthony Edwards led the team with 31 points and five assists, Donte DiVincenzo added 18 points with four assists while Jaden McDaniels chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Timberwolves shot 43 percent from the field and eight of 26 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble after scoring just 19 points in the third quarter to start to fall behind, before they took over with a 31-20 fourth quarter to escape with the narrow win despite a poor shooting night.
Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets haven’t been at their best lately as they’ve lost seven of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back here after falling short to the Thunder in a 127-121 overtime road defeat on Friday. Jamal Murray led the team with 39 points on 12 of 26 shooting, Nikola Jokic racked up a triple-double of 23 points with 17 rebounds and 14 assists while Christian Braun added 23 points with eight rebounds and two blocks. As a team, the Nuggets shot 42 percent from the field and 18 of 48 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start and led by 16 points early on, but they started to turn the ball over and it came back to bite them in overtime where they just couldn’t get a stop.
Minnesota v Denver Free Prediction
The Timberwolves are keeping an eye on Julius Randle who is questionable due to lower back spasms, while the Nuggets have ruled out Peyton Watson and Aaron Gordon with Spencer Jones listed as questionable. The Timberwolves are heading into this meeting with plenty of winning momentum and they would love to keep it going against the Nuggets who have been stumbling lately despite getting some players back from injury. These teams have already met three times this season with the Nuggets winning on each occasion, but the Timberwolves are the hotter team at the moment and I think they get some revenge while the Nuggets are below their best.
Peter Tran's Pick: Minnesota +2.5
