The Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves will meet from the Twin Cities on Friday Night for a Western Conference showdown.
Denver begins this contest with a record of 2-2 on the young season. After winning the NBA Championship in 2022, the Nuggets were bounced out of the playoffs in the Western Conference semi-finals last year.
Entering 2024, the Nuggets are viewed as one of the betting favorites to win the NBA Finals. Denver supports one of the best starting five lineups in the NBA. One area of concern with this Nuggets team is their depth, which hurt them a season ago.
The Nuggets lost their first two games of the season, but have bounced back with back-to-back wins over the Toronto Raptors and the Brooklyn Nets.
