LiontipsMinnesota vs Denver. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Before the start of the season everyone underestimated Minnesota, but Wolves managed to put up a surprise. Timberwolves had no objections in the previous season, but everything will be different this time. Finch's players will try to fight for a play-off spot in the current season. They proved their ambitions by beating Milwaukee (113:108). Russell, Edwards and Towns managed to stop Giannis Antetokounmpo and recorded a deserved victory over the champion.
Though, Minnesota lacks consistency so far. Before the match against Milwaukee team suffered a defeat to New Orleans (98:107). Finch's men played most of their matches against weaker opponents, so it is hard to assess their form now.
In the previous match Denver completely destroyed Dallas. Nikola Jokic and his partners didn't let their opponents to do anything on the floor. Jason Kidd's men scored only 75 points, while Nuggets beat them by 31 points.
Nuggets are still playing without Jamal Murray. Canadian player is injured and he is unlikely to play in next few matches. He could've help his team, but sa far Nikola Jokic is the only hope of Denver team.

Tip and bets
Minnesota put up a great performance in the previous match, but we are not expecting the same in the game against Denver. Nuggets are a great defensive team, so Timberwolves are unlikely to score many points. Wolves never played against the defensive-minded team in the current season. We think that Nuggets have more chances for a victory.
Our prediction - Denver to win (Including OT)
Utah was the one team, who managed to break through Nuggets' defense. Phoenix and Dallas were unsuccessful in it. We are not expecting a better performance from Minnesota.
Our second bet is on total under 224,5 points
