(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Timberwolves vs. Nuggets
The Minnesota Timberwolves have won three consecutive games over the Nuggets this season. Two of the three games weren’t even close. The Timberwolves most recently added a 115-95 victory over the Nuggets back on March 12th. In that game, Nikola Jokic scored 34 points, but Jamal Murray was silent, going 4-for-15 with only 12 points in the loss.
Minnesota matches up well on offense. The Timberwolves have added 116.3 points per 100 possessions and have shot a 55.4% effective field goal percentage. In addition, the Nuggets don’t force many turnovers and have also allowed over 28% of offensive rebounds. The Timberwolves shoot an above-average effective field goal percentage and have also brought down more than 28% of offensive rebounds.
On the other hand, the Timberwolves are much better defensively than the Nuggets. Minnesota has allowed only 111.3 points per 100 possessions, while giving up a 53.3% effective field goal percentage. Denver has added no more than 104 points in two of the three games. The Timberwolves are one of the only defenses capable of stopping the Nuggets.
Consider backing the Timberwolves on the road.
Pick: Timberwolves +3.5 (-105)
