Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the regular-season series between the Wolves and Nuggets, including why Anthony Edwards should have a big series, how the Wolves should attempt to guard Nikola Jokic, and why the Wolves should push the pace.

GM everybody, hope you have a great day and appreciate having MJ's son on your favorite team.
So when the wolves take a game in Denver does that give them home court still or did the league change that
NAW might not have been ready but he was a demon guarding Jamal Murray. We would’ve been screwed without him
2:31 starts. 11:50 starts again
Suns in 7 right?
Denvers bench isn't going to play much. Yes we need all the starters. But if Ant gets hurt, if Gobert goes down. Same thing for the Wolves…
7:31 A most excellent point. And not only that, the nuggets are not as good as last year nor as deep. We swaped out Troy Brown Jr, Shake Milton Alexander and the atrocious Austin Rivers for Jaden "The Warden" McDaniels, NAZ 6th man of the year winner Ried, and (should be starting for someone) Nikel Alexander Walker. Not to mention Kat is much more mature, Ant took a recent GIANT leap and Rudy is playing far better than he did last year. Yet we're nearly a 2 to 1 underdog??? Hmmm…. I'm not generally a betting man and gambling is evil, but if I were this is the bet I would take. MN over Denver for the series. And while you're at it might as well bet every single game because on the games you win you double your money and on the one or two we might lose it's made up by the four we win. Net gain also. Translantion, if you had $1,000 and put $100 on each game for the Timberwolves to win and the rest on the entire series, I'm guessing you're going to make some good money. But again, betting is evil so don't listen to me 😎
The Unstoppable Force meets the Immovable Object. Biggest game since KG tipped it off vs Shaq for our Wolves on Saturday.
Nuggets can't stop Ant, Wolves can't stop Jokic. Should be great series – Nuggets in 6!
Biggest difference between the 2 teams from last yr. Denver had Jeff Green and Bruce Bowen. Wolves didn't have Naz and Jaden McDaniels. That alone gives the Wolves a chance. Bruce Bowen was a +43 I believe against the Wolves last yr in the playoffs. Also if Murrys hamstring is worse then what he lead onto against LA and Wolves win handily. Last over looked thing is Wolves only lost 4 times back to back games all yr. 2 of those 4 were without Towns at the end of the season.
Bro nobody cares about the bench….its the playoffs
Man I’m sorry but this is just excuses and wishful thinking. Saying KCP can’t guard Ant. No one can guard ant just like no one can guard Jokic. Rudy and KAT can’t guard him
