Denver Nuggets at Minnesota Timberwolves Preview & Picks

Minnesota are tipped to cover as they send Denver home with a defeat.

The Nuggets have rallied from a rough start, but they will be weary after back-to-back overtime games and the Timberwolves, led by an in-form Anthony Edwards, can take advantage.

  • Minnesota Timberwolves are 2-1 in their last 3 games
  • Minnesota Timberwolves are 2-0-0 ATS in the last 2 meetings
  • The Under hit in the previous 2 meetings between the teams
  • The Under has cashed in 4 of Denver's last 6 games

Head To Head

  • Denver Nuggets lead the all-time series 97-65
  • Minnesota Timberwolves won 98-90 when the two teams last met on May 19

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver head to Minneapolis looking to make it three wins in a row and climb above .500 for the first time this season.

The Nuggets were given back-to-back home games to start the season, but they failed to make the most of it as they lost both outings.

They first suffered a 102-87 defeat at the hands of Oklahoma City, before losing 109-104 when they hosted the LA Clippers.

Denver have kick-started their season on the road though, winning back-to-back games in overtime.

The Nuggets finally got off the mark with a 127-125 in Toronto, before heading to Brooklyn for a 144-139 victory over the Nets.

Minnesota Timberwolves Form

Minnesota enter this matchup looking to rebound from a home defeat that dropped their record to 2-2.

The Timberwolves opened up the season back-to-back games on the road, and they were able to split those outings.

They were beaten 110-103 by the Los Angeles Lakers in their season-opener, before heading to Sacramento where they won 117-115.

Minnesota then backed up that victory with a successful home opener, beating Toronto 112-101.

The Timberwolves were unable to follow that up though, as they were then beaten 120-114 by Dallas at the Target Center.

Verdict

Denver are 2-0 on this road trip, but both of those games went to overtime.

The Nuggets will almost certainly be feeling those two marathon contests, so the Timberwolves make for an appealing pick at home.
