Timberwolves vs Nuggets Score Prediction

This is a battle of attrition as these teams are evenly matched. If we look at the NBA 1st half lines, Denver and Minnesota have nearly the same net rating. But the second half is what could decide this matchup as Denver has a slight edge (+2.7 net rating advantage). As such, we expect Minnesota to push Denver, though the Nuggets could still win.

Timberwolves vs Nuggets 3 Best NBA Player Props Today

1. Nuggets C Nikola Jokic Under 52.5 Pts+Rebs+Asts (-120)

Nikola Jokic is the best player and the reason why the Nuggets still have short odds for an NBA Championship. However, he’s produced such whopping totals that it’s hard to get value on his exorbitant line here.

Jokic has averaged 30.8 points in his last five regular-season games against Minnesota but only 7.8 boards and 7.6 boards, per Timberwolves vs Nuggets stats. This goes under his line.

2. Timberwolves G Anthony Edwards Over 26.5 Points (-120)

While we’re fading Jokic’s NBA prop line, we’re all in on Anthony Edwards’ scoring as an NBA pick tonight “Antman” is heating up and has shot over 51% during this five-game winning streak. Additionally, he averages 27.5 points going against his division rivals. Bet him to score over 26.5 points.

3. Timberwolves F Jaden McDaniels 2+ 3-Pointers (+118)

Jaden McDaniels has proven to be the X-factor for Minnesota. The fifth-year pro is averaging a career-high 12.6 points and has consistently hit from downtown. He’s hit 2+ 3-pointers in four of his last six starts. Denver gives up nearly 14 threes a game at 36.2%. McDaniels will hit two or more 3-pointers here.

Timberwolves vs Nuggets Total Pick

Denver remains a prolific NBA team, scoring nearly 122 points each night. It plays fast with average defense, which has prompted high totals. But in games with a total at 235 or higher, the over/under is split 13-13-0. Minnesota’s totals are 3-2 to the over when lined in the 230s. But this line is outrageous given the NBA matchup.

Minnesota will not score 130+ as it did in an earlier meeting. The Wolves will slow the pace and limit what Jokic can do. Expect the online betting total to fall just short.

Timberwolves vs Nuggets ATS Pick

We will continue to fade the Nuggets when playing at home. They barely covered against Phoenix (congrats if you got Phoenix at +9) and it took overtime against a team below .500. Per NBA betting trends, Denver is also only 16-14-1 against the spread (ATS) at home. Minnesota is 7-5 ATS as a road favorite and is riding a five-game streak.

More notably, Minnesota has won three straight against Denver and is 10-5 ATS in its last 15 meetings. The latest NBA news also has Minnesota fully healthy. Bet the underdogs to cover.
