Command Analysis

Current form
The first game of the Nuggets series against Minnesota took place on April 18 in Denver and turned out to be very revealing. The hosts won 116-105, but this score does not fully convey the drama of individual segments of the meeting. Denver had a strong regular season: 54 wins and 28 losses, third place in the NBA West. The team has long learned how to play under pressure and knows how to turn on at the right moment. The start of the match was left to the guests — 33:23 in the first quarter. Minnesota looked fresh and aggressive, as if she wanted to impose her rhythm right away.
But then the classic playoff scenario began: the adaptation of a strong team. In the second quarter, the Nuggets responded harshly — 39:29. And it was no longer just an answer, but a statement. By the big break, the score was 62:62, and the game actually started over. But the third quarter was a turning point. 29:17 — and here Denver showed why it is so difficult to play with them in the playoffs. Pace, control, patience, and pinpoint attacks. In those minutes, Nikola Jokic completely took over the game. His triple-double was 30 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists.

Now the Timberwolves. And here the story is more nervous — this is not a failure, but also not the result that the guests expected. The start was encouraging: the team won the first quarter, set the pace, and showed aggression. In the second, she stayed close, not letting Denver get ahead. But then there was a moment that always sounds especially loud in the playoffs - a failure in one quarter. The third quarter — only 17 points scored. And against a team like Denver, it's practically a verdict. At this point, the game began to slip out of hand. However, it is important to note the character of Minnesota.
In the fourth quarter, they didn't fall apart, but tried to get back into the game, won the segment, and even forced the opponent to play more carefully. But the gap was already too big. Anthony Edwards became the leader with 22 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Rudy Gober was active with 17 points and 10 rebounds, especially in the fight under the ring. Minnesota finished the regular season with a 49:33 balance and sixth place in the West. .

Tip and bets
The first meeting showed the main thing: The Nuggets are able to endure the initial onslaught and then completely change the course of the match. Yes, Minnesota is capable of good stretches. Yes, they can impose power basketball. But the problem is something else — it's not working out yet to withstand the entire match against a structural team of the Denver level. After the first victory, the hosts gained even more confidence. Jokic controls the game, the role players get into the rhythm, and the home court adds energy. In the playoffs, such matches are often decided not by jerks, but by stability. And this is where Denver looks more composed now.
Our prediction is that Denver will win with a handicap of (-4.5) points in 1.70
