Point Spread: 5.00 | -110.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
The Timberwolves are coming into this game off of a 45 point win at home against the Nuggets to even up this series and force a game 7 here. The Timberwolves dominated the Nuggets in that game that they needed to win, but that was actually their 1st win at home in this series. The Timberwolves actually lost their first 2 home games in this series as they won the first 2 road games in this series, going up 2-0 before the Nuggets clawed back a 3-2 series lead. Now it comes down to this game but the Timberwolves have already shown that they can win in Denver as they won 2 of the 3 games there in this series, and both of those wins were by 7+ points as well. The Timberwolves are not going to be intimidated going into Denver for this game as they have won 2 of the 3 games there in this series, but they also split the 4 games against the Nuggets during the regular season, winning 1 of the 2 games in Denver as well. The Nuggets are still the defending champions and they are bound to respond to that 45 point loss here at home, but the Timberwolves are going to get up for this game with the Western Conference Finals on the line and this is also a team that was supposed to be this good last year and it has taken them a full year to round into form but now they are here and they are going to be a true threat in the NBA moving forward. The Timberwolves are going to make a statement in this game as they kick out the defending champions on the road, or they will at least keep it a very close game if they lose. The Timberwolves will cover the spread in this game.
