Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Game 4: Betting Tips
Anthony Edwards is expected to clinch over 27.5 points. Though he scored just 19 points in their previous matchup, Edwards took the blame for the team's loss and seemed adamant about delivering a stunning performance in Game 4. He previously cleared the total four times in the seven playoff games the Timberwolves have played including his 43-point performance in Game 1 against the Nuggets.
Jamal Murray is favored to score under 21.5 points. Apart from his 24-point performance in the last matchup, Murray combined for just 25 points in Games 1 and 2 of the series. The Nuggets guard has also not cleared the total once in the three games they played against the Timberwolves in the regular season. Moreover, his calf injury ahead of Game 4 is anticipated to reflect on his performance on Sunday.
