Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Lou Aguila | in NBA Picks
Riding on a huge wave of momentum after stomping their class over the defending champs in Game 1 and 2, the Minnesota Timberwolves look to deal the Denver Nuggets another demoralizing loss in Game 3 of their Western Conference semis series. Anthony Edwards has been the man of the hour for the T-Wolves these playoffs, averaging 32.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 5.8 assists while playing outstanding defense on the other end of the floor in 39.5 minutes per game. Edwards, who exploded for 43 points in Game 1, will once again lead the charge for Minnesota in an attempt to secure a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. Wolves will get back the service of the recently-named Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert after the Stifle Tower had to beg off from playing in Game 2 to attend the birth of his first son. Nikola Jokic has continued to put MVP numbers on the stat sheet in the first two games, but his efficiency has suffered as he competes with the Wolves' big man. The Joker, who averaged 27.0 points, 15.0 rebounds, and 9.4 assists in the postseason, will need to get his other teammates involved, especially running mate Jamaal Murray, who has been irritated by the Wolves' tight defense.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
Predictions: DraftKings has listed Nikola Jokic at 50.0 on points + rebounds + assists player prop, signaling that the bookmaker is expecting another monster all-around performance by the MVP in this make-or-break Game 3 for the Nuggets. With the Nuggets looking to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole, there’s no question in our mind that Jokic will deliver the numbers for his team. It’s only a matter of how efficiently he’ll get these numbers since the Wolves' defense is doing an excellent job of reducing his impact in the game. Will he reach 50.0 points from combined points, rebounds, and games? The answer is no. The Wolves showed everybody in Game 2 that they could take Jokic out of the ballgame in some spurt with their length inside. With Rudy Gobert making his return for Game 3, life is going to be tougher for the three-time MVP. Our betting prediction for Nuggets vs. Wolves: Bet on Jokic to go UNDER 50,0 from points + rebounds + assists.
