Best Bet for Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves

Best Bet: Denver Nuggets -2.5 (-114)

Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves is Denver Nuggets -2.5 (-114) against the spread.

The Denver Nuggets and the Timberwolves are seeded closely in the Western Conference with an identical win-loss record. However, if we look at their individual performances, the Nuggets are coming off four wins in their last ten games, while the Wolves are off six wins in the last ten games. In terms of their stats, the Nuggets have the best offensive rating, while their rivals are ninth in the standings.

Defensively, the Nuggets are struggling with a mid-rack position, while the Wolves are among the top-ten teams. However, the Nuggets have home court advantage and they can utilize this chance to record a win over the Wolves.

The spread at Nuggets -2.5 fits the hosts well owing to their elite offense as well as advantage of playing at home. We can expect a tight fight from the Wolves.

Given the offense that they enjoy along with the familiarity with the court, we are comfortably laying the Denver Nuggets -2.5 (-114) as our Best Bet.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: Denver Nuggets -1.5 (alternate spread)
Leg 2: Nikola Jokic Over 28.5 points
Leg 3: Cam Johnson Over 11.5 points

Combined odds: +448

We have built this same-game parlay around the Nuggets to win with a narrow margin over the Timberwolves. Nikola Jokic is the force behind the Nuggets’ offense and we see him taking scoring responsibility and putting up a strong performance against the Wolves. Jamal Murray is another top player, who has created an impact for his team.

These legs are correlated considering if the Nuggets take control of the game, their players will get ample scoring opportunities and more volume. Thus, it is our safer SGP option.
