Monday’s NBA slate will feature three games, including a Game 5 in the Western Conference series between the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Nuggets and the Timberwolves.
Minnesota has started to look like a true title contender as this series has gone on and turned a 1-0 series deficit into a commanding 3-1 series lead. The Timberwolves will head back to Denver to try and close this series out; however, they will do so without two key pieces, that being Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo. While the injuries to both these players hurt, Minnesota has had incredible production from its bench, especially in Game 4 when Ayo Dosunmu scored 43 points.
As for Denver, its offense has gone completely cold in this series. In Game 4 alone, the Nuggets shot 38% from the field and 21% from the three-point line. Denver is sure to be in panic mode, so being at home is likely to give them a boost; however, a blowout win does not seem very likely.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
Denver is a heavy favorite in this game; however, Minnesota looks to be the best betting option. The Nuggets may have the advantage of returning home for Game 5 to extend the series, but they have simply not shot the ball well over the last few games.
Defensively, the Nuggets have also been lacking, as the Timberwolves are averaging 112.3 points per game in the series compared to 105.5 points per game for the Nuggets.
Losing Edwards and DiVincenzo might be too much for the Timberwolves to overcome in terms of winning this game and closing out the series; however, with the Nuggets still struggling to make shots, our Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction is: Minnesota Timberwolves +10.5.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
