There’s been no need to wait for the Play-In Tournament results to know some of the “real” playoff series matchups, including the one that provides us with the star-studded affair of Anthony Edwards and Nikola Jokic. It was very nearly last year’s Western Conference Finals, so let’s add to this one with our best Timberwolves vs. Nuggets predictions for Saturday.

Even if you don’t want to lock in Timberwolves vs. Nuggets picks just yet, we’ve also added in a guaranteed 10x Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus - perfect for fans in Minnesota without legal sports betting!

🤔 Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Predictions for NBA Playoffs on Prime, 4/18

We say that it was almost the Western Conference Finals because, for those who may not remember, the Nuggets ended up losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round, which we considered to be the best series of the entire postseason. So, will we be making Timberwolves vs. Nuggets predictions for a full seven games as well?

The odds suggest otherwise, and you’re sure to see plenty of NBA expert picks picking Denver in a big way. Of course, the concern in Minnesota is the health of Anthony Edwards, who they have been easing back into things. That said, he was able to play 27 minutes and score 22 minutes in his last time on the court.

We also have the four previous meetings between these teams to look back on to help us lock in the best bet from our Timberwolves vs. Nuggets predictions.

🔥 Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Best Bet: Jamal Murray Over 23.5 Points (-125 at Novig)

After discussing Anthony Edwards, and despite Nikola Jokic being the other superstar in this matchup, our eyes are elsewhere. Denver was able to go 3-1 against Minnesota this season, and it wasn’t only thanks to Jokic. It was also due to Jamal Murray getting buckets right alongside the Serbian.

They both averaged over 30 points across the four games that we got to make Timberwolves vs. Nuggets predictions this season; it was 31.5 per game for Murray. Jokic has been racking up the rebounds and assists since then, while Murray has been focused on scoring while still having solid assist numbers.

We say that because you could also pivot to a points + assists prop as another play in your Timberwolves vs. Nuggets picks. Even still, we’re going to stay nice and basic here after seeing Murray average over this number across all of March and the handful of games in April.

He’s also been capable of making this not even a sweat, scoring 30+ several times recently, including his incredible 53-point night just a few weeks ago. While Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert are focused on Jokic, we’ve got Jamal Murray over 23.5 points (-125 at Novig) as the best bet from our Timberwolves vs. Nuggets predictions.

✍🏼 Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Injury Report & Latest News

As far as Timberwolves vs. Nuggets injuries go, there is actually very little to worry about. While both teams didn’t have their guys play in the season finales, that was by choice. Minnesota was sitting comfortably in the #6 seed for a little while, and Denver apparently wasn’t overly concerned with beating the San Antonio Spurs to get the #3 seed.

However, we’ll still note Anthony Edwards when it comes to Timberwolves vs. Nuggets injuries, as we have yet to see him play a full workload since his most recent injury. So, it’s absolutely still worth bookmarking our Fantasy Alarm NBA injury report!
