The Denver Nuggets will face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight for the second time this season. The Nuggets are coming off a fantastic win against the Houston Rockets, a win that allowed them to once again claim the first spot in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves are coming off an exciting win in which Karl-Anthony Towns hit the buzzer beater to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime on Wednesday night.
A lot has changed since the Nuggets and Wolves played that infamous win-or-go home game at the end of last season, which ended up being the Timberwolves’ ticket to the playoffs and the Nuggets’ ticket home.
