Nuggets vs. Timberwolves Odds, Picks and Predictions (May 13, 2021)

The Nuggets are cruising into the playoffs as one of the hottest teams in the NBA and they are looking to continue their winning ways against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Let’s take a deep dive into the different markets with our Nuggets vs. Timberwolves betting pick, complete with the best odds, prop predictions, and analysis.

Nuggets vs. Timberwolves Betting Prediction

There is nothing confusing about Denver’s success this season. Nikola Jokic is playing the best basketball of his career and he’s the easy choice to win MVP. His historic season combined with Michael Porter Jr.’s breakout has the Nuggets in the mix as a title contender.

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves are gearing up for another chance at ping pong balls in the lottery. To be fair, Minnesota has been better during the second half of the season, but they are still one of the worst teams in the NBA.

Bets We Like With A Nuggets Win

Nikola Jokic Under 27.5 Points (-113)

OK, hear me out here. We are taking the under on Nikola Jokic’s points, but that isn’t a bad thing. Jokic has picked up more of the scoring load in the wake of Jamal Murray’s season-ending injury. With all that said, Jokic is a passer and facilitator at heart. He is truly at his best when he is making his teammates better.

The Timberwolves are going to send extra attention his way, but he should have no problem finding the open man. Look for Jokic to have a big game as a facilitator as the Nuggets win big.

Bets We Like With A Timberwolves Win

Karl-Anthony Towns Over 24.5 Points (-104)

It’s easy to overlook Karl-Anthony Towns because of how bad the Timberwolves are, but he’s still one of the most talented big men in the league. Towns is the rare talent who can score from any spot on the floor. He uses his outside shot to open things up on the interior and vice-versa.

If the Timberwolves want to beat the Nuggets, Towns will have to go toe-to-toe with Jokic. Hitting the over on his points at 24.5 would be a good start.

Nuggets vs. Timberwolves Prediction, Pick

The Nuggets are playing at an insanely high level despite losing Murray earlier this year. Jokic and Porter are the two catalysts who run the offense, but Denver is getting contributions from a ton of different players. Stick with the hot hand and take the Nuggets laying the points here. MVP Jokic won’t let the Timberwolves hang around in this one.
