Nuggets vs. Wolves Predictions

Outside of Game 1, Minnesota has played decent in this series. The Wolves earned the overtime win on Sunday, and they had a chance to beat the Nuggets in every game except that opening contest.

Don’t get it wrong, Denver is clearly the superior team here, and there’s a great chance the Nuggets close out the series on Tuesday.

On top of that, Minnesota will miss one of their “glue guys”, as Kyle Anderson has been ruled out for Game 5.

Instead of betting on the spread, the total seems like a safer pick. All games in this series have been at or over 222 total points — except Game 1, where Minnesota flopped with only 80 points.

The stars have come to play in this series, as Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. have all flashed brilliance. There’s enough firepower on both sides to push the total over 222 points once again.
