Minnesota at Denver

Minnesota had no problem with Phoenix, but it will be a different story against the defending NBA champions, who won four of five against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nuggets are 10-4 ATS and 6-1 UNDER playing with at least three days rest and 12-5 ATS at home against teams with .600 road winning percentages. The Nuggets are 51-35-1 UNDER on the season and four of the five games against the Lakers stayed UNDER. Denver easily defeated the Timberwolves in five games last year although this season's matchup figures to be one of the best this year. Nikola Jokic is arguably the best player in the league and almost never has a bad game and the Nuggets should prevail on the offensive boards. Denver also has the inside presence to guard the Timberwolves, who are not a major 3-point shooting team. Take the Nuggets and the first half UNDER as a Max Play.
