Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets 2/23/2020 Betting Odds Minnesota Timberwolves BettingThe Minnesota Timberwolves continue to grope for form and things are unlikely to get better anytime soon. They have been atrocious on the road and face a top-seeded team in the Nuggets. Karl-Anthony Towns remains out, meaning it will be up to D’Angelo Russell to lead the charge. The All-Star guard will need all the help he can get, hopefully from Malik Beasley and Juan Hernangomez. Players to watch: D.

They have lost back-to-back games but hold little excuse for a third against the T-Wolves. Tasked to lead the way anew will be Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Denver has been struggling offensively but playing at home may change all that. Being one of the best defensive teams today, a blowout win could be the key to getting back on track.
