Minnesota won the last game and gained some confidence back again as they know they can beat the Nuggets, and on the road too. With Murray re-injuring himself again in this game puts the dynamic duo of Jokic and Murray in jeopardy and vulnerable against the stout Timberwolves defense. If Minnesota covers Jokic well again and Murry doesn’t play his best then Minnesota has a chance to win the game, especially if their defense shows up and keeps the Nuggets to under 100 points. Look for Edwards to finally step up in this spot and have one of his best games. Towns and the others will step up and show the Nuggets the team they saw in games 1 and 2 were no fluke. Minnesota is hungry and they will win the battle of the boards in this game and play a very physical game that will make Jokic and Murray uncomfortable again. Gobert should play a great defensive game against Denver as he steps it up. The Nuggets were embarrassed in the last game and this is a logical bounce back spot for them, however, what will be different in this game 7 is that this will be one of the tighter games in the series and will come down to the wire as both teams will put it all out on the floor. There won’t be a one sided blowout in this game. Everything is on the table and all players from both sides will be dialed in but the edge goes to the Timberwolves as they have the talent, defense and better bench to win this game outright and dethrone the champs. Minnesota is 1-0 against the spread this season and 3-1 against the spread when facing elimination in a playoff series. Minnesota is 7-3 against the spread in its last 10 games as an underdog In the playoffs, the Timberwolves as a road underdog are 4-1 against the spread.

Best bet: take the points with Minnesota.
