Prediction for the NBA match between Denver vs Minnesota, which will take place on May 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Denver

The Nuggets faced the Lakers for the second year in a row. Denver played four games in the conference finals last season, but this time, they had five. At 3-0, Michael Malone's team lost in Los Angeles, but they closed the series at home.

Against the Lakers, Denver's confidence stood out. In almost every game, the Nuggets had no problem returning from a double-digit lead in the second half. As for personalities, Nikola Jokic's insane numbers—28.2 points, 16.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists—are definitely worth noting.

Minnesota

The Timberwolves' series with Phoenix was one of the most interesting in the first round. However, the reality was that Minnesota outplayed the Suns, demonstrating their clear superiority. Phoenix only managed to avoid losing with a double-digit score difference in one game.

The key to Chris Finch's team's success is phenomenal Anthony Edwards, who, along with Jokic, is arguably a playoff contender. The guard averages 31.0 points per game, 8.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 2.0 steals. Minnesota's big-man duo is also worth noting. Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert have more than 20 rebounds per game.

Expert Betting Tips

The only way to stop Denver is to play as hard as possible. The Lakers didn't have enough energy to do that in the first round, but a better Minnesota lineup has a better chance of doing so. We'll bet on TO fouls for the Timberwolves, especially since the Wolves violated the rules an average of almost 25 times per game in their first-round series against Phoenix.
