Play: Over
Rating: 5*

Both Denver and Minnesota are in the bottom five for defensive efficiency this season, surrendering 108.4 and 108.0 points per 100 possessions respectively. With two such abysmal defenses I think it stands to reason that we'll see a high-scoring encounter when the two Northwest Division rivals clash at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado Wednesday night.

The 10-21 Timberwolves have played decent basketball lataly and defeated the Hawks 104-90 on Monday. Karl-Anthony Towns put up another dominant performance and went 8-for-8 from the field, including 3-for-3 from beyond the arc.

The 13-18 Nuggets are also coming off a win on Monday when they defeated a shorthanded Clippers team 106-102, their fourth win in the past six games. Scoring has not been an issue for Denver this season, and the team averages 112.6 points per game home at Pepsi Center but are also giving up the same number of points.

Over is 10-3-1 in Denver's home games this season, and I think we'll see another one fly over the total tonight.

Whatever you do Wednesday, do not miss out on Mike's Top Rated 10* NBA *LATE SHOW*, featuring Raptors/Warriors at Oracle Arena.
