It promises to be a cracker as fourth-place Denver meets fifth-place Minnesota in this neck-and-neck NBA clash at Ball Arena. The two sides are on identical record (37–23) on the season and will look to strengthen their bid for a top-six finish with a win. Here is our prediction.
The Denver Nuggets suffered their third defeat in five games after losing 127–121 in overtime to conference leaders the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. Overall, they have posted a patchy 4–7 record in their last 11 games, alternating between wins and losses.
Notably, the Nuggets have won their last two home games, but are on the back foot setting out on a no-rest schedule against Minnesota. They are also without key names in Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson, including Tamar Bates with four other players remaining a doubt for this clash.
The Minnesota Timberwolves shot 31% from deep and 43% overall to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers 94–88 on Thursday, marking their fifth win in six games. Chris Finch's side will be confident of a positive result in this clash, having won five of their last six road games, including victories in their last three trips.
