Even with a banged-up Anthony Edwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves have found their playoff gear — and they’ve got Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on the ropes heading into Game 4.
While Minnesota’s smothering defense got the headlines after limiting Denver to 34% shooting in Friday’s win, the offense is also rounding into form.
My Nuggets vs. Timberwolves predictions point to another strong showing, with Donte DiVincenzo once again providing a spark.

Nuggets vs Timberwolves prediction
Nuggets vs Timberwolves best bet: Donte DiVincenzo Over 11.5 points (-105)
It says a lot about the Minnesota Timberwolves’ growth that Anthony Edwards’ knee issue hasn’t submarined their chances in this first-round series.
Instead, the rest of the Minnesota backcourt has answered the call, with Donte DiVincenzo, Jaden McDaniels, and Ayo Dosunmu combining for 60 points in Game 3.
The hosts will need a similar script this weekend to grab a 3-1 lead, and that means a neon green light for DiVincenzo, who’s nailed this points prop Over in all three games so far in the series.
DiVincenzo's hot streak includes 11-for-22 shooting from downtown, and the Denver Nuggets have struggled to contain his speed and quick release coming off screens and DHOs. Minnesota had a 21-7 edge in fast break points in Thursday’s victory, and the T-Wolves guard is a big part of that transition attack.
This O/U line is right around his regular-season mark of 12.2 points per game, but the T-Wolves need even more of DiVincenzo’s shotmaking without Edwards at full strength.

Nuggets vs Timberwolves same-game parlay
The T-Wolves have been the tougher, more imposing team through three contests, and DiVincenzo continues to burn the Nuggets from downtown.
Although Nikola Jokic couldn’t get anything to fall in Game 3, I expect a bounce-back performance. The three-time MVP has averaged 27.4 ppg and 12.4 rebounds per game in his playoff career.

Our "from downtown" SGP: Jaden Keeps Backing It Up
McDaniels didn’t hold back in blasting the Denver defense earlier this week — and then backed it up with 20 points in Game 3, capped off with a monster slam.
He also chipped in 10 boards on Thursday while holding Jamal Murray to just 16 points. Put simply, McDaniels’ two-way play is key to a Minnesota victory here.
