Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets look to build off their Game 1 momentum and take a 2-0 series lead over Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night. Not only are the Nuggets the higher seed in this NBA playoff matchup and currently leading the series, but they’re also one of the hottest teams in the league, having won 13 straight games dating back to the regular season.
Despite an 11-point loss to open the series, the Timberwolves held their own against the Nuggets and led for the majority of the first half. The turning point for Denver was a massive 39-point second quarter that brought them back into the game and sent it into halftime tied. If the Timberwolves want to avoid falling to 0-2 in the series, they’ll need a much better shooting performance from Edwards, who shot just 37% from the field and 22% from three in the Game 1 loss.
