.Salas42_ and erscimia think the stars will shine in the NBA tonight. 🤩 👉 Timberwolves vs. Nuggets: 👉 Clippers vs. Suns:
Scoring in this series has come fairly tepidly for two teams with strong offenses that project as average-ish on defense. While the Wolves finished the regular season ranked 10th in D-rating, they played the majority of it without Towns, a porous defender who Jokic can attack whether he's covering him or a neighboring cutter .
While Games 2 and 3 soared to 231 and 235 points, respectively, Game 1 was a 189-point dud, while Game 4 ran up just 222 points despite going to OT. This series has really been a tale of two cities output wise, with a line reflecting as much tonight. The total sits at 220.5 or 221.5 as of Tuesday morning, depending on where you're looking. Both seem ripe for an Over in the case of an offense-leaning matchup, which is what I'd picture tonight with the Wolves desperate and the Nuggets hungry to put this one to bed.
Granted, Denver's done a good job of slowing this series to a crawl, playing to a glacial 95.3 pace rating, with only the predictably molasses-like Cavs-Knicks and Nets-Sixers matchups plodding along slower. This is more of a lean, but I think we'll see Denver more engaged and flexing its muscle — which will almost always be on offense. That lends itself to the Over, but we could still be crawling for 48 minutes, which makes me hesitant to suggest firing away. Timberwolves are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings. Find more
