My Prediction
Denver Nuggets by 4Ah, the age old story of the Minnesota Timberwolves taking on the Denver Nuggets. Always an encounter that leaves us biting our nails and spilling our popcorn.
On one side, you've got the Timberwolves boasting brawny players like Anthony Edwards, putting on a fireworks display with an average of 27.2 points this season. Julius Randle, not too far behind with his overall performance while Rudy Gobert nabs the rebounds like picking apples in September. Yet team's performance fluctuates more than Colorado's weather these days. Despite a satisfying recent win against Detroit, memories of an unfortunate defeat at the hands of Indiana still linger. Regular Season Record, not too shabby with a neat 43-32 for Minnesota, landing them at the 7th spot in Western Conference.
On the other court side, Denver Nuggets, a team that's found a consistent rhythm and is leaving its footprints on the scoreboards. Paving the road for victory, Nikola Jokic is throwing some heavy numbers around with a whopping average of 30 points last month. Jamal Murray isn't letting the grass grow under his feet either, serving us a cool 23.0 points per game. Nuggets have been turning the heat up recently, roasting Utah and triumphing over Milwaukee clearly having an appetite for winning. Hold an impressive Regular Season Record of 47-28, which has them grinning down from the 3rd spot in the Western Conference.
Past matchups between these teams run the gamut from laughing off a comfortable win for Timberwolves to a victorious game of catch-up for the Denver Nuggets with Timberwolves winning 115 - 95 last time they met.
Casting our gaze towards the future, the Nuggets appear to be the hungrier team in this matchup. Riding high on recent victories, backed up by superior performance stats, and swayed by cosmic forces that seem to be in their favor, they’ve got a pretty solid footing.
So, here we go:
