The Denver Nuggets are preparing to face the Minnesota Timberwolves in a rematch of last season’s Western Conference Semifinals. Despite being on a two-game winning streak, Denver has had a tough start, with both wins coming in overtime against teams they were expected to beat more comfortably. Similarly, the Timberwolves have struggled to find cohesion with new additions Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo, holding a 2-2 record so far.
For tonight’s game, the Nuggets have listed Aaron Gordon as probable due to a right knee contusion. Gordon has been one of the team’s most consistent players this season, averaging 15.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists with efficient shooting percentages. His strong performance, including a recent 24-point game against the Brooklyn Nets, has provided a bright spot amidst some inconsistent showings from key teammates Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr.
Tonight’s matchup, set for 9:30 p.m. EST, could provide much-needed momentum for either team as they seek to find their rhythm in the early season.
