Nuggets vs. Timberwolves Prediction:
Take the Nuggets to cover the short 4.5 point spread on Saturday. I am not going to get in the way of this Denver team. They have won 8 of their last 9 games with the one loss coming with their best player sidelined. They have also covered the spread in 8 of their last 10 games. They are 12-10 ATS on the road this season including 4-0 in their last 4 road games. The Timberwolves are the worst team in the NBA ATS on their home floor, with a 4-15-1 record. They are also 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. Anthony Edwards is questionable with an illness, so if he is able to go he won’t be operating at 100%. I’ll back the Nuggets to continue to dominate against a team that has struggled as of late.
Nuggets vs. Timberwolves Prediction: Nuggets -4.5
