Pick:
The Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves will play the third game of their Western Conference semifinals series here on Friday night in Minnesota. It has certainly been an interesting opening two games of this series and nobody could’ve expected what Minnesota has done to the defending NBA champions throughout those first two games. It has been all Minnesota throughout the first two games of the series in Denver, which is even more surprising as the Nuggets were unable to defend home court. Now they will flip the script here on Friday night as they remain in this and avoid being put on the brink of elimination with a much-needed victory.
The Denver Nuggets will be looking to regroup in the third game of this series against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. Denver has struggled throughout the first two games of this series, despite being at home as the defending NBA champions look completely lost against the upstart Minnesota Timberwolves. If Denver is unable to pick up the victory here on Friday night in Game number three of the series, it will put their back against the wall, heading into game four and put them on the brink of elimination. That is not something anybody would have seen how strong this team was throughout the regular season.
They will turn a new leaf in the game of the series on Friday night as they get going in this series and find a way to shut down Anthony Edwards on the road in Minnesota. Nikola Jokić has put up decent numbers throughout the first two games of this series, but he will need to be much more effective here on Friday night if he wants to lead the Denver Nuggets to a much-needed victory. As this year’s most valuable player award winner will have to dominate. The rest of this series if Denver wants to keep their hopes of defending their championship this season. As the Nuggets are facing a must win game coming into this contest.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have looked incredible throughout the opening two games of this series and they will look to keep the momentum rolling with another victory here on Friday night in game three. They have dominated the opening two games of this series on the road in Denver and now they will look to put the defending NBA champions on the brink of elimination with a third consecutive win.
Anthony Edwards has submitted himself as one of the best players in the NBA throughout this season and this season playoffs and he will look to continue that momentum throughout this game as well. If he can replicate his performances from the opening two games of the series, then the Timberwolves should have a distinct advantage for the third consecutive game in a row and pick up another double digit victory over Denver as well.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Minnesota is 6-0 in the playoffs
- Minnesota is 48-15 as a favorite
- Denver is 4-6 as a road underdog
Much like we saw throughout the first two games of this series I am expecting a similar result in the third game of the series here on Friday night in Minnesota. As I look for the Minnesota Timberwolves to flex their muscle in front of their home fans and grab a third consecutive victory against the Denver Nuggets. They have outmatched Denver throughout the first two games of this series back in Colorado and I expect more of the same, as I look for them to put the defending NBA champions on the brink of elimination. Not only do I look for Minnesota to pick up the victory in this one for a third consecutive game, I also look for the Timberwolves to cover the spread against the Denver Nuggets in the process.
