Wolves vs. Nuggets Predictions
The Nuggets blew away the Wolves in Game 1. It looked like more of the same in Game 2, but Minnesota came out strong in the second half. Denver was able to get more buckets down the stretch, but the Wolves showed that they won’t go away quietly in this series.
Now the Timberwolves will have the benefit of homecourt advantage and some confidence from Wednesday’s second-half showing. Minnesota was able to play Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert together while unlocking Anthony Edwards, who had a franchise playoff record 41 points in that game.

It took nearly six quarters for them to figure it out, but it appears Minnesota has found a lineup combination that can compete with the No. 1 seed Nuggets.
Look for Minnesota to take Game 3 in front of an energized crowd.
