Minnesota Timberwolves at Denver Nuggets Overview<br />
</h2>

As we have mentioned previously, both these teams come off wins that should certainly raise eyebrows as the Timberwolves and Nuggets are regarded as lower tier teams in the Western Conference. Both outfits managed to pull off victories against teams that qualified for the playoffs in the 2015-16 season.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Nuggets are a team that can be exceptionally dangerous on any given night given their offensive potency. This team has a plethora of talent and while Minnesota may have plenty of weapons in their arsenal, they may not be able to quell the onslaught of Mudiay, Barton and Gallinari. The Nuggets victory at Los Angeles did not generate some form of a reaction as it normally would, by virtue of the fact Lob City was nicked up. Conversely, the Minnesota dominance of Atlanta raised plenty of eyebrows. The Clippers at one point had the best record in the NBA but that was not the team Denver faced. Blake Griffin and Chris Paul were injured and Denver faced a much lighter version of the Clippers and as a result were expected to win. Denver did so but failed to cover by half of a point. This is likely a compelling narrative in this market. In certain instances we get an opportunity to take back a short-priced favorite which in turn bodes tremendous value. The situation taking shape here with the Nuggets is exactly that and we will go ahead and dive in while we can.
