NBA prediction
A very tough match entirely within the Western Conference, which will be played at the Target Center between Minnesota and Denver in the early hours of Sunday (02.00). The two teams, in fact, are in a great period, have a positive record and are among the announced protagonists this season, as they have been in previous ones. Precisely in the progress of the direct clashes of the last year there is a reason of interest because the Timberwolves won all four matches against the Nuggets who, however, have already had their first sporting revenge, on October 28th in Minnesota with a nice 114-127 victory signed by Jamal Murray (43 points) and Nicola Jokic while Anthony Edwards was absent.
On Sunday night, some roles risk being reversed because while Ant will be on the pitch after the 30 points scored against the Kings, doubts remain regarding Jokic (questionable a few hours after the ball). The presence or absence of the Serbian champion can certainly change the prediction which, however, for the bookmakers sees the Timberwolves as slight favorites in a match that promises competitiveness and obviously a great technical level and which, in addition to the aforementioned precedents of the last 2024/2025 season, undoubtedly recalls the spectacular playoff series of May 2024 won 4-3 by Minnesota.
