Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Summer League Picks
The Timberwolves have an exciting trio of Leonard Miller, Rob Dillingham, and Terrance Shannon Jr. Those three combined for 55 of the 98 points in Minnesota’s 98-91 win over the Pelicans on Thursday. In addition, Shannon added nine assists and Dillingham earned another six assists. Those two are legitimate playmakers who will be legitimate assets for the Timberwolves when the regular season comes around.
On the other hand, the Nuggets got a team-best 15 points from DaRon Holmes and 12+ points from five different players. It was interesting to see Boo Buie and E.J. Liddell come off the bench in the opener. However, when those two got their opportunities, they played well. You’d like to think Buie will get more playing time than 12 minutes moving forward.
Against the Bucks, the Nuggets secured 19 more rebounds and added 16 offensive rebounds, and still lost. Denver’s better than what they showed on Thursday. They’ll be active on the glass and score at a higher rate. Let’s back the Over 180.5.
Pick: Over 180.5 (-115)
