What to Know
On Saturday, the Minnesota Timberwolves will fight it out against the Denver Nuggets in a Western Conference playoff contest at 7:00 p.m. ET at Ball Arena. The Timberwolves pulled off an upset win in their last outing, and are hoping to pull that off once more against the 4.5-point favorite Nuggets.
The Nuggets are hoping to do on Saturday what the Suns couldn’t on Sunday: put an end to the Timberwolves’ winning streak, which now stands at four games. The Timberwolves managed a 122-116 victory over the Suns.
Anthony Edwards had a dynamite game for the Timberwolves, shooting 7-for-13 from beyond the arc and almost dropping a double-double on 40 points and nine rebounds. Another player making a difference was Karl-Anthony Towns, who shot 4-for-6 from long range and dropped a double-double on 28 points and ten rebounds.
Meanwhile, there’s no place like home for the Nuggets, who bounced back after a tough loss on the road on Saturday. They skirted by the Lakers 108-106 on Monday thanks to a clutch jump shot from Jamal Murray with 4 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Michael Porter Jr. out in front who scored 26 points along with two steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Murray, who scored 32 points along with seven assists.
