Timberwolves vs. Nuggets NBA Prediction:
Given the Timberwolves’ recent dominance over the Nuggets and Denver’s potential absence of Jamal Murray, Minnesota has a strong chance to sweep the season series. However, playing at home and with Nikola Jokic’s consistent performance, the Nuggets could leverage their offensive strength to secure a win. The game is expected to be closely contested. The outcome could potentially hinge on the availability of key players and bench contributions. Give me the Timberwolves +3 at Bovada.lv.
