Timberwolves vs Nuggets Pick

Denver F Aaron Gordon (hamstring) did not play in Friday’s loss and is listed as questionable for this game. Minnesota ranks sixth in the league in offensive efficiency and plays at the tenth fastest tempo, so the over is worth a look. The stronger play is on the Nuggets to bounce back with a home victory. Final Score Prediction, Denver Nuggets win 126-118.
