Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets: prediction for the NBA match
Recently, the Denver Nuggets have had the upper hand over their counterparts. The team has won in three matches, while Minnesota Timberwolves emerged victorious in one encounter. There was also a hard-fought draw during this period, and in the end, the "Northerners" managed to win at home in overtime with a score of 114-108.
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Timberwolves have been looking excellent in their recent matches. Under Chris Finch’s guidance, they defeated the Clippers and twice triumphed over the Jazz. In their last game, they secured a victory against the Jazz with a score of 114-104. It’s worth noting that in the previous match, Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert did not play for Minnesota. Towns will not appear on the court in this encounter, but as for Gobert, he has every chance of playing.
Denver Nuggets
Three days ago, Denver’s winning streak, which consisted of five games, was halted. The Nuggets lost to Dallas on the road (105-107). Not even Jamal Murray’s 23 points could help the team. It’s worth mentioning that Denver has no problems with the lineup. The team arrived in Minneapolis fully armed. Nikola Jokic and his teammates intend to get back on the winning track.
Prediction
Despite the lineup issues, the "Wolves" are obliged to put up a fight against Denver. After all, the home court advantage still plays a significant role. In their own arena, the Timberwolves have always showcased excellent play and are considered one of the best home teams in the West. Therefore, we suggest giving preference to the hosts. Our prediction - "Minnesota" with a handicap (+8.5) points at 1.82. Minnesota has lineup problems, so we doubt that the team will perform brightly. Most likely, the game will be low-scoring. Prediction - total under 215.5 points. Such a bet can be placed at 1.65. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.82. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
