Nuggets vs Timberwolves Game 4 Prediction & Best Bets: Will Denver Decimate Minnesota Again?

After falling flat at home in Games 1 and 2, the Denver Nuggets were in an 0-2 hole against a Minnesota Timberwolves squad that was on fire and heading back home.

Time to panic? It might have been for others, but it wasn't for the Nuggets, who blew away the Timberwolves in Game 3 Friday night to get on the board for the series.

Tonight, the reigning NBA champions will look to even up their series with Minnesota and put themselves back in the driver's seat with a win in Game 4 (8:00 pm ET, TNT).

After being blown out by 26 in Game 2 last Monday, the Nuggets appeared to be on the ropes with few answers at hand.

But they aced Friday night's test with flying colors, jumping out to a 15-point halftime lead, pressing on the gas in the third quarter, and leading by as many as 34 points in the fourth on the way to a 117-90 rout.

One game doesn't mean that the series is now firmly back in Denver's favor, but this is arguably a bigger game for Minnesota. Will they respond like a contender, or will the Nuggets' experience and mettle shine through again?

Nuggets vs Timberwolves Betting Analysis

No team in the NBA has been better than the Timberwolves in bouncing back from losses this season. But will they deliver another winning performance after suffering their first loss of the postseason?

For the season, the Timberwolves are 22-4 SU (84.6%) in games following a loss. The Boston Celtics (16-4, 80.0%) are the only other team to win 80% of the time in that scenario, while the Nuggets (20-8, 71.4%) are the only other team to win at least 70% of the time in that scenario.

But the regular season and the postseason are not the same, and it is far easier to have faith in the team that has been there, done that, and gotten the t-shirt than the team who hasn't been in these positions before, especially when that team has Nikola Jokic.

It's also worth noting that the Minnesota is 20^th in the NBA in covering as a home favorite, with their Game 3 loss dropping them to 16-22-2 ATS (42.1%) in games as a home favorite.

If there is some consolation for the Timberwolves, there is this bit of info that could come into play for Game 5 on Tuesday (10:30 pm ET, TNT): The team with the second-worst ATS record as a home favorite are the Nuggets, who are 21-23-1 ATS in that scenario this season after failing to cover in the first two games of this series and just one of three home games against the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round.
