Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Nuggets as an underdog with the way they’re playing is attractive, especially with the Timberwolves on the end of a back-to-back. However, the Nuggets went from a clean injury report to being down two rotation players and possibly Jokic. Also, the Timberwolves play with an edge when Edwards is on the floor, mainly in big games. It feels like the Timberwolves are still eager to prove themselves to the rest of the league, and they get up for games like this. The Timberwolves have won 6 of the last 7 games against the Nuggets. I’ll side with the Timberwolves at home on Saturday.
