Nuggest vs. Timberwolves Preview
NBA Playoff Preview The NBA playoff race is coming down to the wire. 15 of the 16 playoff seeds are currently set. Tonight the Minnesota Timberwolves will host the Denver Nuggets for the final playoff spot in the western conference. It is simply winner take all. They have already matched up three time this season with Minnesota coming out on top twice in two of the meetings. We should expect a close game with all games averaging a loss margin of just four points. Here are some key points to look for during the game. Butler's return Just five days ago all-star Jimmy Butler of the Timberwolves just returned after missing 17 games due to an injury to his meniscus. He returned against the Lakers scoring 18 points while winning the game 113-96. Look for Butler to have a huge game being one of the only players on the court with lots of playoff experience. Jokic must show up Nikola Jokic will be the one the Timberwolves will look to stop. Head coach Tom Thibobdeu is
