Xam’s Daily Gem:
THESE TEAMS WILL GO OFF!
Timberwolves/Nuggets Money Line Parlay -122 FanDuel 1 Unit
PLAY OF THE DAY!
The Lakers will be without LeBron James tonight, and it’s a tough hill to climb against the Timberwolves as it is! Without LeBron James in the mix, the Timberwolves will be able to focus their efforts against Anthony Davis and ensure he doesn’t wreck the game. The Timberwolves are one of the BEST defensive teams in the league, giving up just 104 points per game at home this year! Rudy Gobert is built to slow guys like Anthony Davis down. Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle, Mike Conley, and even Donte DiVincenzo rounds out a group that is capable of scoring plenty of buckets as well If the Timberwolves contain guys like Austin Reaves and Dalton Knecht as well, the Timberwolves SHOULD get the job done. They haven’t played since the 8th and played only one game since the 6th, so they should be PERFECTLY RESTED for this game!
The Nuggets come into play tonight at 12-10, which is not where most people expected this team to be a quarter of the way through the season. Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. will NEED to step up for this team if they want to get to where they want to go, and it starts tonight. Denver’s defense has been a lot worse than people have expected, as they’re giving up a WHOPPING 118 points per game at home! Fortunately, the Clippers aren’t the strongest team to take advantage of this, as they are averaging just 108 points per game on the season. Containing James Harden and Norman Powell will be key for Denver. Outside of Jokic and Michael Porter Jr., they have a few other options that can produce as scoring threats. If Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon can produce as ancillary pieces, Denver SHOULD get themselves on track and a win at home!
Best Line: -122 FanDuel at the time of this post!
