Timberwolves vs Nuggets Predictions & NBA Picks Today (4/10): Huge Playoff Implications

Tonight’s Timberwolves-Nuggets clash is one of the biggest of the day due to its potential impact on the playoff race. After all, Minnesota and Denver own matching 55-24 records, however, it’s the former that has the tie-breaker, meaning the Timberwolves are currently first in the Western Conference.

That’s without mentioning how the Oklahoma City Thunder trail the Northwest rivals by one game. It wouldn’t be surprising if the victor of tonight’s matchup winds up being the Western Conference’s No. 1 seed.

It should be a solid contest between two teams that are fairly hot at the moment. Since March 12, the Timberwolves’ 78.6% winning percentage ranks third-best in the NBA. Interestingly enough, the Nuggets’ are fourth during that stretch with a 71.4% success rate.

The T-wolves have also been victorious in seven of their last eight divisional matchups and just notched a win over the Nuggets on March 29 — one of eight defeats Denver tasted at home this season.

Can the Timberwolves defeat the Nuggets for the second time in two weeks? 

But even though the Timberwolves won on their last trip to Ball Arena, let’s not forget that the Nuggets own a conference-best 80.0% winning percentage at home, going 32-8 SU in Denver. Additionally, the Nuggets are 5-1 SU in their last six home games against the Timberwolves, outscoring the latter by 10.8 PPG.

Interestingly enough, both Denver and Minnesota are 8-4 SU when playing without any rest this season. Nevertheless, the Timberwolves covered the spread on six of those occasions while the Nuggets only did so four times.

Speaking of the spread, the Timberwolves have covered in each of their last five games against the Nuggets, who are an abysmal 4-10 ATS in their 14 previous divisional matchups. That’s without mentioning how Minnesota is also 5-1 ATS in its last five road games whereas Denver has only covered twice in its last five home games.

Covering the spread hasn’t been the Nuggets’ strong suit lately. 

After losing to the Timberwolves at home not too long ago, I see the Nuggets getting some revenge tonight. Denver must win to re-take the Western Conference’s top spot and the Ball Arena crowd should give it a much-needed boost. It’s going to be a close one, but the Nuggets are never a bad bet at home.

Having said that, I will take the Timberwolves on the spread. Not only did Minnesota just beat Denver at home, but it’s also 5-0 ATS in the last five games between these divisional rivals. Even though I’m predicting the Nuggets to win outright, the Timberwolves have more than enough talent to keep things closer than oddsmakers project.

Best Timberwolves vs Nuggets NBA Prop Bet (4/10)

The best players step up when the stakes are the highest, hence why my prop pick tonight is the Over on Nikola Jokic’s 27.5-point total.

As usual, Jokic has been one of the NBA’s top scoring threats lately, averaging 29.9 points on .562/.389/.803 splits across his last 10 games. He finished with the Over seven times during that run, which includes a 28-point effort against the Jazz last night. That’s without mentioning how the Over is 6-4 in his last 10 home games, too.

After hitting the Over four times while averaging 32.6 points in his last five meetings with the Timberwolves, Jokic is in a good spot to pull through on this prop.
