It has been a great run for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2026 NBA playoffs, who head into a clash, holding a slight 3-2 lead over the Nuggets in the opening round.
However, they are aware that their opponents in this clash are dangerous and could turn the series in their favor. Their first defeat in this series came in the opening round, but they steadied the ship with three consecutive wins.
The Timberwolves failed to make it four straight wins in their recent match. They suffered a 125-113 defeat on the road. Julius Randle posted a team-high 27 points, while Ayo Dosunmu contributed 18 points.
The Denver Nuggets have a fighting chance to turn the series in their favor. Currently, they have won two of their last five matches against the Timberwolves, and success here could force a decider.
In their recent match, the team returned to winning ways. They secured a 125-113 victory at home. That outcome ended a three-match losing streak in this series.
