Nuggets -4 (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Nuggets suffered a wild 131-130 loss to the Mavericks on the road Tuesday but return home, where they are 9-5 with a +8.3-point average scoring margin for the season.

Denver already holds 13- and 11-point wins over Minnesota this season. Additionally, the Nuggets are 8-6 ATS at home and 5-2 ATS following a loss this season. In contrast, the Timberwolves are just 5-8 ATS on the road.

Nikola Jokic Over 39.5 points + assists (-122) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a very attainable number for Jokic in what should be a competitive game, coming off 42 and 43 points + assists in his two most recent outings and averaging 39.5 points + assists both at home and over his first 10 December games.

Jokic has surpassed this mark in 14 of 29 games overall, and the Timberwolves were just torched by another offensively gifted big man, Karl-Anthony Towns, for 40 points on Tuesday.

Julius Randle Over 28.5 points + rebounds (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Randle recorded 31 points + rebounds against his former Knicks squad Tuesday, entering the game with averages of 22.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per contest.

He also posted 31 and 32 points + rebounds in the Nuggets’ two previous meetings and has averaged 24.4 points and 7.4 rebounds against Denver over his last 10 games. Additionally, Denver has been very generous to power forwards in the past seven games, allowing an NBA-high 28.6 points and 12.6 rebounds per game to fours during that span.
