Timberwolves vs Nuggets NBA Live: The Minnesota Timberwolves will enter the game after beating the Pistons rallying around a 28 points performance by Karl Anthony-Towns. On the other hand, the Denver Nuggets will enter the battle after beating the Hornets behind 30 points outbursts by Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. More details about MIN vs DEN Dream11 will be given here.
Timberwolves season: Minnesota has been a sub-par team for more than a decade now and keeps on losing talents, as in the case of Kevin Love, Andrew Wiggins, and Zach LaVine. This season has been another painstaking one and although they do have three promising players in Towns, Edwards, and Russell, it remains to be seen if they will be able to develop and keep any one of them long-term. They remain one of the worst teams this season and they’d need to make some big moves in the offseason to become competitive.
Nuggets’ season: Denver has had an incredible season and apart from the perennial all-star Jokic, they have received elite-level contributions from Michael Porter Jr. The injury to Jamal Murray may have set them back a bit but they are still a tough team to beat with the 1-2 punch of Porter and Jokic, who are surrounded by terrific defensive talents and will be tough for any team to face during the NBA Playoffs.
