Teams Preview

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves found their momentum in the NBA playoffs as they outclassed the 2023 Champions, Denver Nuggets in two consecutive games. Following a defeat in Game 1, the Wolves won back-to-back games to take a 2-1 lead. They will also play their next game at home so they have a big edge in Game 4. A 3-1 lead ahead of Game 5 would give extra advantage to Minnesota. Since 2020, no team has managed to win the playoffs series after going down 1-3. 

Minnesota finished sixth in the Western Conference with a 49-33 record. They gained automatic qualification for one more year. The Wolves outscored the Nuggets 11-25 in the opening quarter and it proved decisive. They averaged 118 points per game in the regular season and allowed 114.6 points per game. The Wolves are shooting 48.1% from the floor and 37.0% from the three-point line. The Timberwolves were the second-best side in the blocks per game (5.8).

The Timberwolves were led by Ayo Dosunmu, who dropped 25 points, while McDaniels went for 20 points and 10 rebounds. If we pick out the offensive threat on this side, Anthony Edwards is the right name. The 24-year-old star averaged 28.8 points in the regular season. We back him to score 15 or more points in this game. The Suns have secured three victories out of seven in the ongoing season against the Nuggets, including one home win.   

Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets found themselves in a tricky situation after a one-sided loss in Game 3 of the first-round playoffs. The former champions made a winning start to the series but now, dropped two straight games. If they lose one more, they would have to overcome a 3-1 deficit which is difficult. However, the Nuggets are the only team in NBA history to win the series twice after losing three out of the first four games in the playoffs. They recently did this during the 2020 playoffs against the Clippers. 

Denver are back again for the fourth and decisive assignment in the NBA Playoffs First-Round against the Timberwolves. They beat Minnesota three out of four times in the regular season but lost two out of three in the playoffs. It was their first road loss against Minnesota in the 2025/26 season. The Nuggets finished third in the West this season with a 54-28 record. They didn’t cross 100 points in the previous game and conceded a game-high 27-point lead. Denver trailed throughout the game in Game 3. 

Nikola Jokic dropped 27 points and 15 rebounds in the last defeat. Jamal Murray went for 16 points. It was a poor show from the top stars. Jokic could be our offensive threat in this game. He is a big match player and averaged 27.7 points in the regular season. We back him to score 20 or more points in the road fixture. Denver are 4-3 against the Wolves in the ongoing season and they have the potential to tie the series on Saturday night.
