Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Stephen Abiola in NBA Picks

Are the Wolves going to sweep the Nuggets in Round 2 of the West playoffs? It looks like it as we head into Game 3 after Minnesota took a commanding 2-0 lead on the road. The Wolves, led by Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, outclassed the Nuggets at Ball Arena with a stunning 106-80 thrashing on Monday night. This win came after a 106-89 beating in Game 1. Minnesota’s defense was exceptional in Game 2, holding Denver to a 29-of-83 shooting night. Even worse for the Nuggets, the star trio of Nicola Jokic, Jammal Murray, and Aaron Gordon only managed a total of 44 points. On the other side of the court, Edwards and Towns both scored 27 points to ensure Minnesota is now 6-0 in the NBA playoffs. The action now heads to the Target Center, where Jokic and the Nuggets have an uphill battle to turn things around.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Wolves should easily take care of business in Minnesota in this matchup. They’ll look to secure home-court wins and probably send Jokic and the Nuggets to an early summer. In the first two games of this series, they proved why their defense is ranked first in the NBA this season (106.5 PPG). Minnesota cleverly uses this defensive prowess and attacking efficiency of 114.9 PPG to terrorize their opponents. As for the Nuggets, they must learn to get off to quick starts after trailing by double digits in 6 out of 7 of their last playoff games. Our prediction for Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets: The Timberwolves cover -4.5 spread.
