Denver Nuggets Vs Minnesota Timberwolves Preview
After a tough start, the home side look to have their heads back in the game and are primed to make a run at the Western conference finals. Going 2-0 down to the Timberwolves it looked as if things could get embarrassing for the Nuggets but some impressive displays have them on even playing field once again. Key players such as Jamal Murray have regained their confidence, leading to a viral half-court, buzzer beater moment in last nights game. As well as Nikola Jokić and Aaron Gordon finding their feet in the tie with tactical tweaks that have given the pair the freedom of the park.
But the Wolves aren’t out of this yet, as we’ve seen that they have it in them to pull off convincing victories in the series. The Nuggets comeback may prove to be the wake up call they needed to refocus and begin to win games again. Star man Anthony Edwards has averaged a huge 33.3 points per game so far in the series, with the Nuggets defence still none the wiser on how to control the shooting guard who has looked like the best player for either team so far.
Nuggets Vs Timberwolves Odds
The Minnesotans are 2.45 to put themselves back in front in the series, while the Nuggets are 1.52 to keep their streak going with a third victory in a row.
