Betting on the Minnesota Timberwolves
- Regular Season Record: 28-27
The Minnesota Timberwolves showed why they have a 19-12 record at the Target Center by imposing their will against one of their most complete opponents, the Denver Nuggets. The offense was exploited in every sense of the word, and Anthony Edwards, as the team’s leading scorer, contributed 20 points in a 128-98 victory over a good opponent.
This was the fifth victory of the last seven games played, which surely means improvement in the numbers that place them in eighth place in the Western Conference. However, they have a lot to improve on if they want to repeat the feat in Wednesday’s game, especially given the Nuggets’ impressive numbers at home.
In addition, the Timberwolves continue to be a team with problems in the defensive department, as they average 115.2 points per game.
Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Regular Season Record: 32-20
Without Nikola Jokić, Aaron Gordon, and Jamal Murray, it’s no wonder that the Denver Nuggets were defeated on foreign territory with a version of the game that left much to be desired. And, although Michael Porter Jr. contributed 22 points, it was not enough to deal with an opponent that hits hard with its offense.
The team’s stars’ presence remains uncertain for Tuesday’s game, although the home numbers give Michael Malone hope, as they have lost just five of the 30 games they have played, superlative numbers that only the leader of the Western Conference can have.
JefeBet Prediction
There are too many uncertainties related to the presence of the Denver Nuggets’ best players for this new matchup against the Timberwolves. Not having the best players on the court limits the team greatly, something that was clearly seen in Sunday’s match, where they just could not put up a fight against the tenth-best offensive team.
Although the numbers at the Pepsi Center would tilt the balance in favor of the locals, if the absence of three of their main pillars is confirmed, it would be very difficult for them to compete against this team or any other team in the league. Therefore, Minnesota is expected to make it out of Colorado unscathed on Tuesday.
Prediction: Minnesota Timberwolves Spread.
