Denver Nuggets Preview
Through two games, Denver is averaging 131.0 points on 53.7% shooting with 32.0 assists and 43.0 rebounds per game. Aaron Gordon erupted for 50 in the win over Phoenix, drilling 10 threes, while Jamal Murray added 25 points and 10 assists. Nikola Jokic scored 21 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists in his only game thus far. Denver has hit 40.0% from three and 92.9% at the line; the only blemish has been 13 turnovers, a number they can live with given shot quality and number of shots taken.
The Nuggets haven’t listed any injuries. Jonas Valanciunas has played well behind Jokic, and role players Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson have come up big in key moments of the game. If Denver sustains ball movement via Jokic, as well as scoring from Jokic, Murray, and Gordon, the Nuggets will pressure a Minnesota defense that has allowed 114.0 points per game and 41.2% from three so far.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Minnesota is averaging 114.0 points on 47.7% shooting with 42.5 rebounds and 22.5 assists. Anthony Edwards is carrying the scoring load at 36.0 points per game on 53.2% shooting with 50.0% from three and 8.5 made free throws. Julius Randle adds 22.5 points and 8.0 rebounds while also leading the team in assists (5.5). The Wolves’ perimeter trio of Jaden McDaniels (14.0 ppg), Donte DiVincenzo (10.0 ppg), and Bones Hyland (5.5 ppg) rounds out the scoring, but turnovers (15.5 per game) have hurt.
Rudy Gobert’s 6.5 rebounds per game are below his usual pace, and winning the battle on the glass is critical against a Denver group that puts up plenty of shots each game. Minnesota has shot 41.2% from three-point territory, so feeding Edwards/Randle regularly and kick-outs to shooters on the perimeter are key to offsetting Denver’s scoring.
Denver Nuggets at Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
This sets up as a close game controlled by star players: Jokic/Murray vs. Edwards/Randle. Denver’s shooting and passing are strong, but Minnesota’s home crowd and Edwards’ current form will keep the game close. If the Wolves take care of the ball and get to the stripe, they can win and cover. Final Score Prediction: Minnesota Timberwolves win and cover ATS, 119–115.
