Season series: First meeting; Denver beat Minnesota 4-1 in 1st round of last season’s playoffs

The Nuggets took down the Utah Jazz 110-102 on Monday despite failing to cover as 9-point home favorites and hitting the Under (226). The reigning NBA champions have begun the season on a 4-game winning streak.

The Timberwolves failed to cover as 2.5-point road favorites and the Over (228.5) easily cleared in their 127-113 defeat to the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. Through 3 games, G Anthony Edwards is leading the way for Minnesota, producing 25.3 PPG, 7 RPG, and 5 APG.

Nuggets at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 115, Timberwolves 108

Moneyline

Denver is going to lose at some point this season, but it won’t be on Wednesday night. Take the NUGGETS (-140) on the road, and I’d only bet on their moneyline at -155 odds or better.

This is a rematch of the 1st round of the playoffs last season when the Nuggets won the series 4-1, and they have now won 5 of the last 6 meetings.

Against the spread

NUGGETS -2.5 (-110) has fantastic value as Denver has won by at least 4 points in each of its 1st 4 games this season. Even with C Rudy Gobert on the Timberwolves, Minnesota won’t have an answer for slowing down C Nikola Jokic.

The Nuggets are 4th in offensive rating and true-shooting percentage through 4 games. On the other hand, the Timberwolves are 24th in offensive rating and 23rd in true-shooting percentage in 3 games.

Over/Under

With the firepower the Nuggets possess, I’ll side with OVER 220.5 (-110) in this contest. The Timberwolves also have Edwards and F Karl-Anthony Towns to help do their part in achieving the Over.

In the 9 meetings between the Nuggets and the Timberwolves last season (including the playoffs), the Over was 5-2-2.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Denver Nuggets Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Denver Nuggets Game 2 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will face the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of their 1st-round playoff series on Wednesday. Tip-off from Ball Arena is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Nuggets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Timberwolves were blown out 109-80 by the Nuggets in Game 1 on Sunday as they failed to cover as 8-point underdogs. Minnesota has lost its last 2 meetings against Denver by a combined 63 points.

The Nuggets cruised to a 29-point win despite C Nikola Jokic fouling out in 28 minutes of action. G Jamal Murray led the way with 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists in Game 1.

Timberwolves at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 118, Timberwolves 108

Moneyline

AVOID.

Unless you believe the Timberwolves will pull off the upset in Game 2, then the moneyline isn’t worth taking in Wednesday’s pivotal showdown.

Against the spread

NUGGETS -8.5 (-110) is the pick in this contest assuming that Jokic is active. Denver looked like the far superior team in Game 1 and I expect the Nuggets to cruise to a 2-0 lead in this series.

Over/Under

OVER 222.5 (-115) is the choice with it tough to expect the Timberwolves to score only 80 points again in Game 2. Both of these teams are top 8 in true-shooting percentage and the Nuggets are 5th in offensive rating.

The Over is 5-2-1 in the last 8 meetings and the Over is also 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Denver.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (39-37) face the Phoenix Suns (40-35) on Wednesday at Footprint Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Suns odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Timberwolves edged out the Sacramento Kings 119-115 Monday as 5-point road underdogs. Minnesota is on a 4-game win streak and is only half a game back of the Golden State Warriors for the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.

The Suns covered as 4.5-point road favorites in their 117-103 win over the Utah Jazz Monday. Phoenix is currently the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.

This will be the third season meeting between the Timberwolves and the Suns. The teams split the first two meetings while the Over cashed in both.

Timberwolves at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 122, Timberwolves 115

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Suns (-210) are expected to secure the victory at home, but taking them to win straight up isn’t worth the risk at the current odds.

Against the spread

SUNS -5.5 (-105) is my play here assuming Durant returns for Phoenix. Durant could make his home debut with the Suns on Wednesday and Phoenix has looked nearly unstoppable when the All-Star forward has played.

The Timberwolves are 7-18-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings with the Suns and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Phoenix.

Over/Under

BET OVER 235.5 (-108).

Even though this is a high total, both of these teams could be nearing full strength on Wednesday. This is a pace-up game for Phoenix and there are plenty of capable scorers involved in this matchup.

The Suns have hit the Over in 6 of their last 7 home games and the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings with the Timberwolves.

Atlanta Hawks at Minnesota Timberwolves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Atlanta Hawks at Minnesota Timberwolves odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Hawks (36-36) face the Minnesota Timberwolves (36-37) on Wednesday at Target Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Hawks vs. Timberwolves odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks prevailed as 13.5-point home favorites in a 129-107 win over the Detroit Pistons Tuesday. Atlanta is only 1 game ahead of the Toronto Raptors for the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Timberwolves edged out the New York Knicks 140-134 Monday to cover as 8-point road underdogs. Minnesota is only half a game behind the Dallas Mavericks for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.

The Timberwolves won 136-115 and covered as 4.5-point road underdogs and the Over (241) cashed when these teams first met on March 13.

Hawks at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 122, Hawks 114

Moneyline

AVOID.

Even though the Timberwolves (-175) are expected to secure the win at home, taking them straight up at the current odds isn’t advised as they should win by margin and provide better value on the spread.

Against the spread

TIMBERWOLVES -4.5 (-108) is the pick in this matchup assuming that one of either or both Edwards or Towns returns Wednesday. The Hawks are on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back and G Dejounte Murray could be sidelined again due to an illness.

Atlanta is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 games after scoring 125 or more points in its previous game and 0-4 ATS in its last 4 games playing on 0 days of rest.

Over/Under

UNDER 241.5 (-110) is how I’d wager on the total despite these teams being fast-paced squads. Minnesota is 13th in defensive rating and I’m expecting the Timberwolves to be more competitive with them as they desperately need every win they can get ahead of the playoffs.

The Hawks are 12-12 to the Under in their 24 games as road underdogs this season and the Timberwolves are 11-11 to the Under in their 22 games as home favorites.

Prediction

Hawks 124, Timberwolves 117

Moneyline

PASS.

Even with the Hawks expected to win at home, taking them straight up at the current odds (-210) isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

HAWKS -5.5 (-110) is the pick with how Atlanta has performed under new coach Quin Snyder. G Trae Young has been playing better as of late, scoring 25-plus points and dishing out 7-plus assists in 4 straight games.

The Timberwolves are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings, while the Hawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team with a losing road record.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 245.5 (-112).

There’s no doubt these teams play fast and can score points with ease, but this is a massive total. The Timberwolves and the Hawks have failed to reach 245-plus points in 7 of the last 10 meetings.

Kings at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 119, Timberwolves 115

Moneyline

KINGS (-115) is my bet Monday despite losing to the Timberwolves on Saturday. Sacramento is the better team and had won each of its last 3 road games before Saturday’s matchup.

Against the spread

If you aren’t taking the moneyline, KINGS -1.5 (-105) is a nice wager. Even though recent trends lean toward the Timberwolves covering the spread, we only need the Kings to win by at least 2 points against a shorthanded squad.

Over/Under

UNDER 236.5 (-110) feels like the ideal bet for the total in this game. We’ve seen high-scoring affairs between these teams in recent meetings, but I expect both teams to tighten up on defense in the 2nd matchup in 3 days.

The Kings have gone 5-1 to the Under in their last 6 games overall, while the Timberwolves have gone 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record. Meanwhile, the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these teams in Minnesota.

Moneyline

AVOID.

Betting on the Nuggets (-320) isn’t worth the risk considering the minimal profit you’ll receive if they win.

Against the spread

NUGGETS -8.5 (-102) is where I’m leaning with how Denver has been playing recently. The Timberwolves won’t have an answer for C Nikola Jokic and there’s a chance they are without Edwards, Gobert, and Towns.

The Nuggets are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Over/Under

Assuming the Nuggets have Jokic available on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, OVER 236.5 (-115) is an intriguing bet. Denver is the 2nd in offensive rating while Minnesota is ranked 18th.

The Timberwolves have hit the Over in 5 of their last 6 road games and the Nuggets have hit the Over in 5 straight games on 0 days of rest.
