Shell-Shocked Wolves Need to Recover

The Timberwolves won the first two games in Denver, and were odds-on to win at least one game at home.

However, as it stands, they are tied 2-2 after losing both home games when favored to win at BetUS sportsbook.

They are now in recovery mode after being easily handled by the Nuggets on Sunday in a 115-107 loss.

Granted, the Nuggets shot the ball extremely well, but the usually tough Minnesota defense was nowhere to be found.

We had high expectations for the Wolves prior to Game 1, and everything was looking great. However, despite Anthony Edwards playing out of his skin, it hasn’t been good enough to put space on the Nuggets.

Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley didn’t do enough in their home games, and Karl-Anthony Towns and Edwards were left to do it all themselves.

The parts are there to cover the +4 spread in Game 5, but it will take a better mental effort, and that’s something the Timberwolves aren’t known for.

Never Doubt the Champions

We will put our hand up and say we doubted the class of the Nuggets after losing the first two games at home.

They looked frazzled, but having the NBA MVP is a luxury, and his calm demeanor has forged the Nuggets back together.

They’re now the firm favorites to win Game 5 and win the series. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have improved steadily throughout the series and Aaron Gordon is shooting lights out from the field.

“The shot-making, the play-making, the physicality, the defense on two All-Stars, so much is being asked of him right now,” coach Mike Malone said. “What you love about Aaron Gordon since Day 1, when he put on that Nuggets uniform, It’s always been about the Nuggets first. He is truly selfless.”

It has been an impressive form reversal, and we expect them to kick on and take the series lead and run away with it.

There is too much class to ignore on this roster, and they are playing in harmony. Every player knows where they should be, and getting production from the likes of Gordon along with bench players Justin Holiday and Christian Braun only adds to their chances of winning.

The -4 line could move to around -5 on game day, so it’s best to take the line as early as possible.

Nuggets Find Gold at the Right Time

Losing the first two games wasn’t ideal, but the Nuggets couldn’t care less now.

They have momentum back in their favor and we would be surprised if they relinquished home-court advantage for the second time.

After two impressive road wins, confidence is with the defending NBA champions, and when they’re firing on all cylinders, they are the best team in the NBA.

We suggest a bet on the Nuggets, and it could pay to grab the current line before market confidence comes.
