This game is going to come down to bench depth, as I do think the starters for the Timberwolves have what it takes to make this competitive. However, the Nuggets were a wagon at home this season and the Timberwolves lost both matchups in Denver this season. The last matchup the nuggets best them 146-112, and with the amount of rest and preparation going into this game vs the Timberwolves 18th overall defense (24th against the 3pt shot) the Nuggets should shoot all over them (they are the #4 best 3pt shooting team in the NBA). This is where losing the first Play-In hurts most, and the Timberwolves are sure to get spanked this opening match by a healthy Denver team who weve seen go wild when everyone is on the court.
