Minnesota Timberwolves: Best home game values
By Luke Askew
3. Denver Nuggets at Minnesota Timberwolves, Nov. 21
When the Denver Nuggets make their highly anticipated return to the Target Center on November 21, the Nuggets will surely have revenge on their minds.
The last time these two teams squared off was on the last day of the 2017-18 regular season, where the winning team would start preparing for the playoffs while the losing team would start preparing for the offseason.
The game was intense from start to finish. Nikola Jokic dropped 35 points to go along with 10 rebounds in what was one of his best games as a professional while Jimmy Butler showed he was officially back by scoring 31 points and adding five rebounds and five assists.
The game was chock-full of highlights, including Jokic draining long-range bombs and Karl-Anthony Towns dunking on the entire city of Denver.
That was one of the best games of the entire 2017-18 season and the rematch is looking like it’ll be nothing short of fantastic. The Nuggets are coming back with the same core group of players — minus Wilson Chandler — but they added exciting players like Isaiah Thomas and Michael Porter Jr.
The Timberwolves, on the other hand, probably won’t have any new faces in the starting lineup. Their bench got much deeper and much better, however.
If you love watching two quality, evenly matched teams, this would be the game for you.
