I’m betting on the over 220 in this matchup of the Nuggets @ Timberwolves for these reasons:

- The Nuggets last 2 away games have gone over 250 points

- The Nuggets are coming off a 3 day off period, and should be well rested going into this game. I expect a full offensive assault from the Nuggets in what will be looked at for them as a revenge spot for getting held down defensively in the playoffs by this timberwolves core.

- Both teams are bottom tier in FG%. Nuggets are 20th and Timberwolves are 18th. I expect a three point assault from the Nuggets, as they know they are terrible in the rebounding department and can’t afford to let this game go to the Timberwolves comfortably slow pace. We can also expect better efficiency from a poor shooting team like Minnesota, at home. Naz Reid, Dante Divencenzo, and Nickel Alexander Walker are all good to make 2 3pt shots each in this game.

Official Play: Over 220

Side Bet: Timberwolves -4

Hail Mary: Julius Randle over 6.5 Rebounds
