*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Tuesday evening, January 17th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, January 18th.
Minnesota Timberwolves
From the time Tim Connelly ascended to the highest position of power in the front office at Denver, there is a common denominator which is his penchant for making deals before the deadline.
To demonstrate, in all but one season (2019) he was active and rumor has it he’s hoping to be active again with the Wolves with the likely player he’s looking to move being point guard D’Angelo Russell.
Stats
So far, the initial defensive improvement by Minnesota is long gone with the team allowing 115.4 points per game ranking 19th while they shoot 46.4 from the field and 37.1% from deep ranking eighth and 29th.
Offensively, the Wolves score 115.0 points per game (12th), while shooting 49.3% from the field (4th) and 34.9% from the perimeter (20th).
On the negative side, Rudy Gobert (groin) left the last game early, he joins Taurean Prince (ankle), as well as Anthony Edwards (hip) as questionable for Wednesday. Jordan McLaughlin (calf) and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) are out indefinitely.
Denver Nuggets
Yet another triple-double for Nikola-Jokic (36 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists) as the Nuggets won their seventh in a row and pulled (momentarily) into sole possession of first in the West.
Four of five starters (plus Bruce Brown) scored in double-figures and Michael Malone was able to limit his starters’ playing time to 30-34 minutes to keep them as fresh as possible for Wednesday.
Stats
Denver possesses the best offense in the league scoring 117.0 points per game on average which ranks sixth. Also, their efficiency is the high mark in the NBA ranking first from the field with 50.9% effectiveness and also first from the perimeter shooting 39.9%.
To be sure, defensively the Nuggets are improving (top-ranked defense in the last five games). So far, they allow opponents to score 113.1 points per game which ranks 14th while limiting foes to 48.0% from the field and 35.1% from deep ranking 24th and 10th respectively.
On the negative side, Peyton Watson (groin), Jeff Green (hand fracture), and Collin Gillespie (leg fracture) are out.

Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
In general, the Wolves have the rest advantage but might be missing their top three players if Edwards and Gobert can’t participate (KAT). So far, the problem is that information won’t be forthcoming likely until just prior to game time.
All in all, I’m still taking the Nuggets to win but as readers know I’m averse to large point spreads. Also, with that in mind, I’m going to assume Gobert is out and believe Edwards suits up so I’ll take the points.
To conclude, if that changes and both are out then consider taking the Nuggets to cover.
