Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Edgar Jibran | in NBA Picks
The fifth game of the NBA playoffs series between Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves will be played next Tuesday, May 14th at 08:30 pm Central Time, series that are tied 2-2 after very dual performances at home from both teams, so this is a must-win game for the Nuggets who should keep the offensive level showed during their last 2 away games in Minnesota.
For that purpose, Denver Nuggets is forced to stop its dependence on Nikola Jokic, because even when he is one of the best players of this season, the rest of the players must be able to collaborate with points even if Jokic isn’t having a good game, so the pressure is on for Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr, players that must show their engagement with advancing to the Western Conference Final.
On Minnesota Timberwolves’ side, this team disappointed their fanatics during the third and fourth games of the series, because they were expected to finish the series at home, so now they are forced again to try to get a positive result at Denver. However, the offensive playstyle of the Timberwolves directly depends on Anthony Edwards, so they couldn’t be considered as favorites for the championship when they clearly are a one-man team.
