DEN vs MIN DREAM11 MATCH PREVIEW:

The Western Conference of the NBA will see a game being played between Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves in the regular season.

Denver Nuggets did not even make the playoffs last year, and currently, are in the second spot in the league table. The progression that the young players have done has come good, and coach Michael Malone has done a hell of a job. The level of consistency displayed by this franchise throughout the season has been impressive, and that is what’s required from a side who is looking to do some damage in the playoffs. They have positioned themselves strongly, and have to rely on their relative inexperience to be successful come post season time.

Meanwhile, Minnesota Timberwolves are in the 10th spot in the Western Conference and are unlikely to return to the playoffs this time out. The season for the franchise started off with some problems, as Jimmy Butler wanted out of the team. He got traded to Philadelphia 76ers and did get some important assets. They still are not the same side who was winning games with ease, like last year. The coach was also let go this season, and apparently, once again the management is looking to rebuild this team.

Denver Nuggets: W-43, L-22
Minnesota Timberwolves: W-32, L-35
