💰 Nuggets vs. Timberwolves best bet
See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.
The Denver Nuggets are in a strong position to cover -6.5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight, even with Minnesota at home. The Timberwolves are hosting Game 6, but they enter as clear underdogs due to injuries and inconsistency, which has shifted the line in Denver’s favor .
Denver just found its offensive rhythm, shooting efficiently and getting dominant production from Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray, a formula that typically carries over in must-win spots . With Minnesota’s scoring depth limited, Denver should control tempo and pull away late to cover.
