David's Top-rated NBA West *TOTAL OF THE WEEK*
(NBA) Denver vs. Minnesota,
Total: 204.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
(Under 204½) — We really like the under in this spot. The total seems a little high, especially given that at least one of the teams has failed to breach the 100-point mark in each of their last seven encounters. This is a pivotal game in the series with the Nuggets looking to tie it up before returning to Denver for Game 5, and Minnesota aiming to snap back and take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. We think this game will be a prime example of what playoff basketball typically looks like, with relentless defensive efforts and controlled and extended possessions.

This is a play on the under with a 5* rating.
