Nikola Jokic hasn’t been quite as effective in the last two games of the series, with Rudy Gobert doing a fairly good job of locking down the center. But the Denver Nuggets star has still averaged 25.5 points and 15 rebounds over the past two games, and it’s hard to imagine Jokic won’t come up with a response – perhaps even moving the ball around more if he can’t be as efficient as he’d like to be in his scoring. At even money, I like Jokic to get back to his all-around excellence by recording a triple-double tonight.
The T-Wolves will need their role players to stay hot 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. That includes 11-for-22 shooting from downtown, and the Nuggets have struggled to contain his speed and quick release coming off screens and DHOs. This O/U line is right around his regular-season mark of 12.2 PPG, but Minnesota is asking even more of DiVincenzo without Ant Man at full health.
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 a key to victory for Minnesota here.
I trust Minnesota to have the upper hand on both ends of the floor, especially if Ant can rediscover his Game 2 mojo. The T-Wolves have been the tougher, more imposing team through three contests, and DiVincenzo continues to burn the Nuggets from downtown. Jokic won’t go quietly, though. He couldn’t get anything to fall in Game 3, missing 19 of his 26 shots, but I’m picking him for a bounce-back effort here. The three-time MVP averages 27.4 PPG and 12.4 RPG in his playoff career.
