Denver Nuggets Team News
Denver finished the regular season as the first-ranked team in the West, and now it’s up to them to make a breakthrough and finally get out of the West. This season, unlike previous years, Denver is finally healthy, but they also have the much-needed width that they lacked in previous years. Nikola Jokic plays at the MVP level for one more season, and as a rule, he raises his game level through the playoffs. This season, he has great support from Jamal Murray, who was out for a long time due to an ACL injury, as well as MPJ, who has had back problems since he arrived in the NBA.
In the first match, the Nuggets did not leave any chance to the Wolves and limited one of the best-attacking teams to only 80 points. The level of aggressiveness and fluidity in defense has increased to a much higher level, which certainly made a difference in this match. They certainly have attacking quality, but in this match, they showed that they are ready to go further. Above all, they showed maturity and breadth. Attack sells tickets, while defense brings titles!
Murray was the most efficient with 24 points, while Jokic had a double-double with 13 points and 14 rebounds!
Minnesota Timberwolves Team News
Minnesota reached the playoffs through the play-in. First, they were defeated by one ball against the Lakers, and in the last match, where the victory was “to be or not to be”, they defeated Oklahoma City Thunder.
In a very short period, they played two opposed games. First, they played perhaps the best match of the season against the Thunder, and then were limited to 80 points against the Nuggets. Fatigue and a big energy drain have done their job, and now it’s up to the Wolves to regenerate and lift themselves, first of all mentally, because if they continue to play as they did in match number one, they’ll be a “broom”!
Team leaders Edwards and KAT will have to show much more, they were too quiet in the first match, and what they played was too soft and timid. They did not attack the hoop but decided on difficult shots for three and a half distance. In match number two, we certainly expect their more aggressive play toward the hoop, to use their strength and athleticism.
This year, they have improved their defense a lot, and that is primarily due to the experienced Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert, who is the link between the back and center defensive lines and they defend the 2 on 2 game very well.

Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
As in match number one, we expect the Nuggets to show their quality. We especially expect the more offensively active Nikola Jokic. A difference of seven points and a win for the Nuggets in this match is our choice and we think that the Nuggets will go 2:0 and defend their home field in this match.
