This is a 10* on UNDER

At 1-4, Denver is off to a slow start to the season. Remember that this was a Conference Finalist three scant months ago, even if the path to get there was somewhat improbable. The Nuggets rallied from 3-1 series deficits in each of the first two rounds before eventually bowing out to the Lakers. They haven’t been so lucky this year with two of the four losses coming by three points or less. But tonight they face another struggling side in Minnesota, who has lost three in a row and failed to cover the spread in all three. The first four Nuggets’ games all went Over before the last one (106-103 loss to Phoenix) stayed Under. It’s been just the opposite for the Timberwolves whose first four all stayed Under before the last one (130-109 loss to Washington) went Over. The last four times the Nuggets and Timberwolves have met here in the Twin Cities, the Under is 4-0. Minnesota’s shooting has been quite poor thus far, especially from three-point range. Denver is 9-2 Under its last 11 games with a total of 230 or higher. Play on UNDER
