Wolves End NBA Games Betting Odds Misery at Denver Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Denver Nuggets NBA betting odds and picks

At the beginning of the season the Minnesota Timberwolves were coming of a playoff appearance for the first time since 2004.  But the Jimmy Butler fiasco ruined the 2018-19 campaign before it even started.  Butler is gone and so to is head coach Tom Thibodeau.  Their clash of priorities and personalities proved to be a perpetual setback for NBA games betting odds.  As a result, there will be no playoffs for the T-Wolves this spring.  By contrast the playoff bound Denver Nuggets have enjoyed a franchise renaissance.  Mike Malone is a potential NBA coach of the year candidate.

Timberwolves vs. Nuggets TV Coverage: ESPN

Now Denver has sparked up its play with three covers in their last four games.  Three of their last five tilts went under the total.  NBA metrics have the Nuggets ranked 19th for scoring offense and sixth for points allowed.  Owing to that is a record of 53-27 straight up, 42-38 vs. the odds, with only 33 games clearing the total.  All Star center Nikola Jokic leads Denver with 20.2 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.

In the same way Minnesota has covered four of their last six games with five of their last seven going over the total.  The Wovles rank 13th in the NBA for scoring offense and 24th for points allowed.  As a result, Minnesota has a record of 36-44 straight up, 39-14 against the spread, and 44-36 over the total.  Karl Anthony Towns has been a point of light for Minnesota.  Towns leads the T-Wolves with 24.4 points and 12.4 rebounds per game.

Late on Minnesota has been a terrible NBA games betting value on the road.  As an example, the T-Wolves have covered only two out of their last 10 away matchups.  Five of their last six in that role have gone under the total.  In a similar way has Denver struggled to get the money at Pepsi Center in recent games.  In their last nine home court matchups the Nuggets have paid just three times.  Nine of their last 11 tilts at the Pepsi Center went under the total.

Denver has had the recent online sportsbook advantage in this head to head series.  To illuminate the Nuggets have won and covered their last three meetings with Minnesota.  Two of those three games stayed under the number.  By contrast the Wolves have been much more valuable when visiting the Pepsi Center.  Minnesota has covered seven of their last nine games at Denver.  Three of their last five away games at the Mile High City have gone under the total.

Matchup to Watch

In this situation Minnesota is serving as a potential spoiler against a Denver team tying to nail down the number two seed in the Western Conference.  As mentioned earlier Denver is struggling with the NBA games betting odds both at home and against Minnesota at the Pepsi Center.
