Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA since the All-Star break, going 11-3. They are now tied for the sixth seed in the Western Conference with the Dallas Mavericks.
Nikola Jokic is averaging 24.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game this season. He is one of the most versatile players in the league and is a key reason why the Nuggets have been so successful this season.
Jamal Murray is also having a strong season, averaging 21.2 points per game. He is a dangerous scorer and can create his own shot.
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Timberwolves have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA this season. They are currently 12th in the Western Conference and are in danger of missing the playoffs.
Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging 24.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game this season. He is a talented player, but he has been inconsistent this season.

Prediction
The Nuggets are the better team and should be favored to win this game. They have a better record, they are playing better basketball, and they have more experience.
The Timberwolves will need to play their best game of the season to have a chance to win this game. They will need to get a big game from Towns and Edwards, and they will need to play well defensively.
