Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Lou Aguila | in NBA Picks

Anthony Edwards erupted for 43 points, powering the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 106-99 win over the defending champion Denver Nuggets in Game 1. Will he put up another big night in Game 2? Or will the Nuggets finally figure out how to stop one of the best young wings in the league from dealing damage? The Wolves stunned everybody in Game 1 after taking the series opener on the Nuggets home court. Edwards was sensational in that game, resetting his playoff career-high to 43 points on 58.6 FG% and 42.9 3PT%. Nikola Jokic delivered MVP numbers with 32 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists while Michael Porter Jr. and Jamaal Murray added 20 and 17 points respectively. Minnesota shot an efficient 52.4 percent from the field and held Denver to just 46.7 percent field goal shooting. The twin tower of Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert also made the difference on the defensive end as they forced Jokic to shoot just 11-for-25 from the field, which was way below his 58 FG% shooting during the regular season.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

Prediction: DraftKings has listed Anthony Edwards at 28.5 points for Game 2. Before his 42-point explosion, Antman averaged 26.0 points in four games against the Nuggets during the regular-season. The impressive part is he only took an average of 19 shot attempts to get that many points. In the playoffs, Edwards considerably increased his shot attempts as he has emerged to become the No.1 offensive option for the Wolves. Will he drop another 30+ point game in Game 2? It’s always tough to bet against someone who is drawing comparisons to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Edwards has shown multiple times throughout this playoff run that he can rise to the occasion and deliver the good when he’s needed the most. Our betting prediction for Nuggets vs. Wolves Game 2: Edwards Over. 28.5 points at DraftKings.

Prediction:

Anthony Edwards OVER 28.5 Points
