The Timberwolves are coming into this game with a 25-25 record overall and they are 14-10 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. Their 2 losses in that span were against the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns while their win came against the Utah Jazz in their last game. Karl-Anthony Towns led the team in points in that game with 31 while Jaden McDaniels was next on the team off the bench with 22 points.

The Timberwolves have an ATS record of 25-25 this season and their O/U record is 29-21.

 

 

The Nuggets have been playing very well recently and they are coming into this game on a 5 game win streak. They have really started to heat up recently and they are going up against a Timberwolves team that has been struggling recently but is coming off of a big win by over 30 points in their last game. The Timberwolves have a good team and can play very well when things are clicking for them but they have also been an inconsistent team this season and with the Nuggets starting to play very well recently, they are a tough team to fade right now as they have been winning games by a lot. The Nuggets will likely get the win here by double digits.
