Denver Nuggets (-9.5) - Minnesota Timberwolves Play early in the day before the regular season expires with the Nuggets who need the victory to welcome Minnesota Timberwolves.
Denver Nuggets:
Part of a sneaky plan, which is likely to have a successful outcome, is reportedly to be the choice of Slobodas to rest their most important players in the fight against the Portland Trail Blazers, losing as expected. Targeting was no more than avoiding occupying the third place by Houston Rockets, and therefore possibly crossing with them in the second round of the playoffs. A prerequisite for achieving the above plan was the defeat of the team from Texas in its last game, which happened thanks to a huge overture that ended with George's buzzer beater. Today the team is expected to be full, having the victory in order not to come third in the event of a Blazers defeat.
Minnesota Timberwolves:
Without an incentive, the guests today, with the Minnesota team, have shown that they are pursuing, even blocked, to be competitive in all matches. The big difference, however, is the expected absence of Towns leader. The center with a tremendous impact on the Timberwolves game lost yesterday's match due to annoyance and will be impressed, given the circumstances, if the team decides to take part in the game. An impressive fact is that the former ROY had not lost a game in the past three seasons in the top professional league.
Assessment:
Surely the circumstances are not ideal for betting, but the absence of KAT is expected to play a crucial role, as has been shown in the recent game against Raptors. Counting the incentive on the side of the hosts, I am driving, in the selection of the Nuggets victory with a handicap -9.5 at odds of 1.86 in Winmasters.
