Prop Pick

Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets is on the program this evening. The first game is played at Ball Park in Denver, where the Nuggets have been fantastic throughout the season.

In fact, they won each of their last seven home games, including three in the postseason series with the Los Angeles Lakers. They also beat the Timberwolves in the Nugget’s final game in Denver in the regular season.

The game with the Timberwolves is particularly interesting given that Nikola Jokic scored 41 points that evening – his highest score since January.

The reason why this is surprising is that Minnesota was the NBA’s best defense in the regular season, conceding just 106.4 points per game on average.
