Premium Pick

Minnesota will have only one day to rest after beating Oklahoma City 120-95 three days after losing in overtime to the Lakers and eight of the Timberwolves' past 10 games have stayed UNDER. Denver also is 11-2 UNDER its past 13 games with a 6-4 ATS mark despite Nikola Jokic missing several games. Jokic will be back for this game for a classic matchup with Rudy Gobert. The Nuggets ended a string of six Minnesota covers in six meetings by clobbering the Timberwolves 146-112 on Feb. 7. The teams have split the season series and the Nuggets are 18-8 ATS their past 26 home games. Minnesota has covered just one of five playing with one day of rest and it is 7-2 UNDER after winning by at least 10 points. Denver has gone UNDER five straight at home and the Nuggets are 7-0 UNDER following a win. Denver has gotten the money five of seven playing with at least three days rest. Take the Nuggets spread and the first half and  full game to stay UNDER.
