Pick: Nuggets -6.5 (-115)
Two of the top teams in the NBA will face off here on Tuesday night in Minnesota as the defending NBA champions head to the Target Center to face the Timberwolves. Both of these teams are putting together incredible regular seasons, and they are currently tied at the top of the Western Conference standings heading into this game. The winner of this game will put themselves alone in second place of the Western Conference heading into the final few weeks of the regular season. They will also give themselves the inside track to get the top overall seed in the conference as well. There should be a fantastic game here on Tuesday night in Minnesota as two of the best teams in the NBA square off once again this season.
The Denver Nuggets are coming off of an incredible season where they lifted the NBA championship. They have followed up that championship winning campaign with another solid season, and they look to make a run at a second consecutive NBA title this year as well. Denver certainly has all the pieces necessary to win a second consecutive championship as long as they can remain healthy and consistent throughout the remainder of the regular season and the postseason. Nikola Jokić is once again looking like the most valuable player in the NBA as he searches for his third MVP award in the last four seasons.
Denver comes into this game with one of the best records in the league, and they are tied for second place in the conference with Minnesota. As they have picked up 47 victories through their first 68 games of the regular season. Denver finally had a lengthy winning streak snapped with a close loss to the Dallas Mavericks and their previous game after Kyrie Irving hit an incredible game winner at the buzzer. Now they will look to bounce back and get back into the column with a quality performance here on Tuesday night when they continue their road trip in Minnesota. They will also look to make up for their blowout loss against Minnesota on the road in Minnesota, the last time these two teams met earlier this season.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been incredible this season, and they are looking to add another victory over the defending NBA champions here on Tuesday night. They have already picked up one blowout victory at home against the Denver Nuggets this season and now they look to secure at least a split of the season series with another solid performance here and this one. As these two teams meet for the second of four times this season. Possession of second place in the Western Conference will be on the line as both of these teams come into this game with an identical record and 47 wins therefore 68 games of the regular season.
Minnesota comes into this game on a three game winning streak and they will play the second game of a back to back here on Tuesday night against Denver after picking up a victory on Monday evening. Anthony Edwards has been playing at an MVP level this season, and he will look to carry Minnesota to a second victory over Denver and a fourth consecutive victory in a row. I expect this to be a quality back-and-forth game here on Tuesday night in Minnesota. Two of the top players in the NBA battle it out here for the second time this season and the first time since November.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Denver is 17-9 as a road favorite
- Denver is 20-15 on the road
- Denver is 26-15 against the West
This game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets will be the best game on a reduced NBA slate here on Tuesday night. As Nikola Jokić and Anthony Edwards will go head to head for the second time this year and two of the top teams in the conference will face off for sole possession of second place. In the end, I look for the Denver Nuggets to pick up the victory and cover the spread against Minnesota, despite being on the road, because I don’t think Minnesota can beat Denver in blowout fashion for the second time this season. As I look for the Denver Nuggets to be looking for revenge throughout this game, I expect them to get that revenge in the form of a victory and a cover against Minnesota.
