Nuggets vs Timberwolves Analysis
*All lines provided by DraftKings
The Minnesota Timberwolves travel to Denver for a Western Conference showdown with the Nuggets. The Nuggs won their third straight game 125-118 in Indiana against the Pacers.
The Minnesota Timberwolves lost their second game in a row 125-102 in Toronto against the Raptors. Minnesota has won two of the first three head-to-head meetings with Denver, the Nuggs will be looking for the split.
These are two exciting teams with many different dynamic players, making this a perfect game to break down from a props perspective.
Nuggets vs Timberwolves Team Totals
The Denver Nuggets are three point favorites with a total of 242.5, setting the Twolves team total at 120.5 and the Nuggs at 122.5.
There should be plenty of points and stats to go around with two team totals in 120’s. Minnesota plays at the fastest pace in the league, while Denver ranks 20th.
However the Nuggets are 42-33-2 in hitting the over this season. Over the last 15 games the Wolves are the highest scoring team while the Nuggets rank 7th. The two games Minnesota won were by 124-107 in Denver and 130-115 at home.
The Nuggs victory came early in the season 93-91 in Minnesota. The Timberwolves are allowing points by the truck load and the Nuggs will need to keep up with their pace.
These team totals are through the roof, but I’m not stepping in front of an under in this one. Let’s take a shot with the Nuggets over 122.5.
Team Total Prop Play: Denver Nuggets Over 122.5
Nuggets vs Timberwolves Player Props
This is game should have tons of player prop overs based on the total and style of play. Whenever you talk Denver Nuggets you have to talk Nikola Jokic.
The Timberwolves allow the 8th most per game to opposing centers and he has scored 21, 26 & 27 in three prior games against Minnesota. Jokic has also feasted on Minnesota in the other categories, totalling 45, 49 & 52 points + rebounds + assists.
His totals are through the roof at 28.5 points and 50.5 PRA. Seems better suited for a same game parlay. Instead let’s look at an under for a player with dwindling minutes. Patrick Beverleys PRA total is 17.5, a number he has fallen short of in three straight games.
His minutes have went down in four straight games. While he went over this total in two of three games against Denver, he was more involved in the offense back then. I’m going under on his PRA total here.
Player Prop Play: Patrick Beverley Under 17.5 PRA
Nuggets vs Timberwolves Same Game Parlay
We usually utilize the top player prop but unfortunately DK isn’t offering Beverley under’s for same game parlays. Let’s work one around Jokic.
Take Jokic 20+ points, 8+ assists and 12+ rebounds. His PRA total is 50.5 and those three individual stats total only 40 for +120 odds. Seems like a good spot for Jokic to add to the MVP resume.
Same Game Parlay Play:
Jokic 20+ Points
Jokic 8+ Assists
Jokic 12+ Rebounds
+120
