Game Preview
The Timberwolves are still unsure which players will be available for this event. Their brawl against the Pistons is still waiting for the epilogue, and there will definitely be some fines.
Minnesota has back-to-back wins, one against the Phoenix Suns, 124-109, and the other against the Pistons, 123-104. Both were at home, where they played way better than on the road, where the T-Wolve’s record sits at 20-16.
Denver Nuggets oscillate a lot, though, they won the previous pair of games. The first triumph was against the Milwaukee Bucks, 127-117, and the second over the Utah Jazz, 129-93. Nikola Jokic’s long three was the highlight reel from this one.
Mike Malone’s team is second in scoring, with 123 points per game. However, the defense is poor, allowing 116 buckets.
