By [Author's Name] | [Date Published]
The Minnesota Timberwolves head into Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinals series against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday as slight favorites. The Timberwolves are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games, while the Nuggets are 1-6 in the same span. However, the Nuggets have won three of the four meetings between the two teams this season, including a 118-113 victory in Game 3 on Friday night.
The Timberwolves will need to find a way to slow down Nikola Jokic, who is averaging 31.8 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game in the playoffs. The Nuggets star has been a force in the paint, and the Timberwolves will need to find a way to limit his impact on the game. Karl-Anthony Towns will be the key defender for the Timberwolves, and he will need to have a big game in order to help his team win.
The Nuggets will need to be more efficient on offense in Game 4. They shot just 40.7% from the field in Game 3, and they will need to improve that number in order to have a chance to win. The Nuggets will also need to hit their free throws, as they shot just 63.2% from the line in Game 3. If they can't do that, the Timberwolves will be able to pull away in the fourth quarter.
The game is expected to be close, and it could go either way. The Timberwolves are the slight favorites, but the Nuggets have shown that they are capable of winning on the road. The game will tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET on Sunday night.
Prediction: Timberwolves 112, Nuggets 108
