Teams' Records and History
The Nuggets enter the playoffs as the number one seed in the Western Conference, with a 60-22 regular season record. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, are the sixth seed in the West, with a 46-36 record.
Denver has won seven of their last ten games against Minnesota, including a 116-108 victory in their most recent meeting on March 9th.
Key Players to Watch
For the Nuggets, Nikola Jokić is the player to watch. The two-time MVP is one of the most versatile players in the league, and he will be a matchup nightmare for the Timberwolves' defense.
For the Timberwolves, Karl-Anthony Towns is the key player. Towns is a dynamic scorer and rebounder, and he will need to have a big game if the Timberwolves want to win.
Prediction
The Nuggets are the clear favorites in this series, but the Timberwolves have shown that they are a dangerous team. If Towns can get going and the Timberwolves can shoot the ball well from three-point range, they could make this series interesting.
Prediction: Nuggets win in six games.
