Leg 1: Denver Nuggets ATS -4 (-115)
Denver owns Ball Arena. The Nuggets are 10-1 in their last 11 home games, and the Timberwolves are about to find out why. Minnesota’s offense has been solid, but they’ve benefited from a soft schedule lately, facing teams like the Hornets and Spurs. Meanwhile, Denver is coming off a 140-point explosion against the Thunder’s top-ranked defense, and Jokic is in MVP form. Check his NBA futures odds, as they are worth betting on.
The Timberwolves have an elite defense, but the Nuggets are first in the league in field goal percentage (50.7%), and their ball movement (31.2 assists per game) will carve up Minnesota’s half-court defense. Denver covers at home.
Bet This Pick: Nuggets -4 (-115)
-
Leg 2: Timberwolves vs Nuggets Over 235
Considering both teams’ pace and offensive efficiency, this NBA betting line for the total looks low. The Nuggets are averaging 121.5 points per game at home this season, and the Timberwolves just dropped 141 on the Spurs while shooting nearly 56% from the floor. Even against more formidable defenses, both squads have been hitting the Over, with Minnesota cashing in 7 of their last 10 games.
Denver’s defense has slipped a bit lately, allowing 116.6 points per game (24th in the league). This should be a competitive game with high-level shot-making, easily pushing the total past 226.5.
Bet This Pick: Timberwolves vs Nuggets Over 235
-
Leg 3: Nikola Jokic Over 9.5 Assists (-124)
Jokic is on another planet right now. He’s coming off a 22-assist game against Phoenix, averaging 11.7 dimes over his last 10 outings. Minnesota’s defense is elite, but they force Jokic to be a passer rather than a scorer, which plays right into this prop. The Wolves also allow the sixth-most assists per game in the NBA, meaning Denver’s off-ball movement will generate plenty of open looks.

When these teams met earlier in the season, The Joker racked up 13 assists, and with the way he’s playing right now, he should cruise past this number again.
Bet This Pick: Nikola Jokic Over 9.5 Assists (-124)

Leg 4: Race to 20 Points – Nuggets (-140)
The critical part of this bet is to know that the Nuggets are a first-quarter machine, leading the NBA in 1Q scoring with an average of 31.5 PPG. Meanwhile, Minnesota ranks 19 with a far less impressive 27.9 1Q PPG.
While Denver also allows the most 1Q points to opponents (30.6 PPG), the T-Wolves offense will be outmatched and lose this race to 20. Based on the stats, this game’s NBA 1st quarter lines are very beatable.
Bet This Pick: First Team to Score 20 Points – Nuggets (-140)
