Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Current situation
Nikola Jokic seems to have benefited greatly from that 10 day hiatus he took in order to get ready for the final push in the regular season. The Nuggets have returned back to winning ways, taking down the Jazz and Bucks in their last 2 games, they’ve now won 3 of 4 and are looking in solid shape to catch-up with the Houston Rockets for the 2nd seed in the West.
The Timberwolves have also won 3 of 4 games, but unlike Denver their situation is a bit more complicated in the West standings. As of today they trail the 6th seeded Warriors by half a game, but the playoff positioning is very much still fluid as we enter the final 8 games of the regular season. Ant Man and co. have been one of the better teams over the past 10 games winning 7 of them.
Denver Nuggets Stats & Form
Denver is coming off a dominant 129-93 win over the Utah Jazz in which they got 27 points and 14 rebounds from Nikola Jokic. Playing one of the weakest teams in the West without their 2nd best player Jamal Murray and winning by 36 points should be a confidence booster, the Nuggets have the 6th hardest remaining schedule over the last 7 games.
Minnesota Timberwolves Stats & Form
Even a 2nd quarter fight in which 5 players were ejected didn’t stop the Minnesota Timberwolves from winning their 2nd game in a row. The offense was once again clicking, as it was in their win over Phoenix a few days ago. Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards both stepped up their games scoring 26 and 25 points respectively, the Timberwolves are catching form just at the right time.
Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Head-to-Head
The Timberwolves have an opportunity to make history on Tuesday night as they look to sweep the regular season series for the first time since the 2002-03 season. This will be the 149th regular season meeting all time between the two teams, with Denver holding a 89-59 lead in wins. The last 2 Minnesota wins were both by double-digits, so the Nuggets will be very motivated to bounce back here.
Denver Nuggets – Minnesota Timberwolves Odds
Backing Jokic and co. to end the losing streak vs Minnesota gets you 8/11 odds. If you like Anthony Edwards and his team to win here, you can get them at 11/8 odds.
The point total has been set at 225.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves (01.04.2025)
It was the perfect scenario for Denver in their last game – they beat the Jazz fairly easily while resting their 2nd best player. With Murray returning to the line-up that gives them another offensive weapon, plus he will also make life difficult for Anthony Edwards here. Ant Man has been hitting his stride lately and he is the main reason why the Timberwolves are so high up in the standings. The team that finished 3rd in the regular season last year has been considered a letdown by quite a lot of people, but Edwards certainly isn’t the reason for that. Against the Nuggets he’s averaging 30.7 points per game in the 3 meetings this year, while shooting over 50% from the field. The likes of Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray will have their hands full trying to contain him. We should also keep our eyes on if Naz Reid will be available to play here, as he was ejected in the brawl against the Pistons on Sunday. Suspensions could be handed out and that could be a detrimental factor if you’re betting on Minnesota here. Although the Nuggets have covered the spread only once in 10 games at Ball Arena, they still boast a very impressive 12-5 SU record over their last 17 games vs Western Conference opponents. Nikola Jokic has been on a different level ever since he came back from his injury, we feel like he will make all the difference for the Nuggets here. Let’s back the home team to cover the spread.
