Let's dive into my SGP bet now.
Denver Nuggets -8.5 Point Spread (-108)
The Nuggets completely dominated the first game of the series. They did not lose a single quarter on the way to a 29-point win. It was their third win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Denver this season. Two of these were by a margin of at least 25-points. Both Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards struggled for efficiency. Edwards has now shot at 40% or below from the field in 4 of his last 6 games. In 4 games against the Nuggets, he has scored over 20 points just once. With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Aaron Gordon being 2 of the leaders in the Nuggets starting 5 in defensive rating, they should be able to contain the Timberwolves stars once more. Denver is a matchup nightmare for the Timberwolves. Look for them to dominate once more at home.
