🤔 Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Predictions for NBA Playoffs Game 5, 4/27

Despite having Anthony Edwards, the combo of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray had many, if not most, fans expecting Denver to win this series. While Edwards and Murray have both eloped us hit some NBA expert picks, we already know that the Minnesota superstar won’t be part of any Timberwolves vs. Nuggets predictions for Game 5.

That’s due to hyperextending his knee the other night, and worse yet, his backcourt mate Donte DiVincenzo tore his Achilles tendon earlier in the game. That’s why we see the Timberwolves vs. Nuggets odds favoring Denver in a massive way back at home. We’ve also seen some plate props balloon since the start of the series.

We cashed Murray over 23.5 points, which is now as high as 27.5, and Jokic has now broken that 30 mark! So, we’re going to find value elsewhere with our Timberwolves vs. Nuggets predictions!

🔥 Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Best Bet: Aaron Gordon Over 10.5 Points (-106 at Novig)

In that regard, we’re going to target a different Denver player with a points prop. It’s one that we know comes with questions and pushback, as Gordon has also dealt with his injuries. All seemed well leading up to this series, but he burned some Timberwolves vs. Nuggets predictions by missing Game 3.

However, he started this series with 17 points, and Denver needs to realize how crucial he is, with Rudy Gobert putting his sole focus on defending Nikola Jokic. It’s also clear that the Joker is frustrated that his team has been struggling and is down 3-1, getting himself ejected in the final seconds the other night.

Gordon didn’t help those who backed him with their Timberwolves vs. Nuggets picks, but with the strange nature of that game, he didn’t get his usual minutes. Even if he doesn’t again, we only need 10 here. Regardless, this is an elimination game, so if he’s good to go, he needs his full workload.

It may be more of a sweat than it should be, but we’ll take Aaron Gordon over 10.5 points (-106 at Novig) as the best bet from our Timberwolves vs. Nuggets predictions.
