By Michael Harrison in NBA Basketball
Published:
- The Denver Nuggets are slim 1.5 point favorites in Game 4 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday
- I’m targeting my favorite player props from this contest, including one for Nikola Jokic
- See the odds in the Minnesota vs Denver player prop market with the Timberwolves up 2-1 in the series
The Western Conference First Round heats up as the home underdog Minnesota Timberwolves host the Denver Nuggets for a pivotal playoff tilt at the Target Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET Saturday. The game will be broadcast nationally on ABC in the United States and TSN in Canada.
I am fascinated by this matchup from a betting angle in the NBA odds. The Nuggets lean heavily on Nikola Jokic, who continues his dominant play, while Jamal Murray searches for his rhythm. On the other side, the Timberwolves are riding the hot hand of Anthony Edwards alongside a strong showing from Julius Randle. Let’s dive into my favorite betting angles for this clash in the NBA Player Props.
Nuggets vs Timberwolves Player-Prop Odds
The Nuggets enter this contest as slight road favorites at -1.5 ATS (-110) and -125 on the moneyline. The total sits at 229.5 points. Early action on the home side has driven the spread down a full point, indicating bettors respect Minnesota as a live +105 underdog.

Nuggets vs Timberwolves Player-Prop Picks
Pick 1: Donte DiVincenzo Over 10.5 Points (-105 at BetMGM)
With Anthony Edwards battling a day-to-day injury, Donte DiVincenzo has quietly become a crucial secondary scorer. He averages a sturdy 14.3 points per game in this series, commanding a 16.2% usage rate whenever he steps on the floor. The volume is absolutely there for the veteran guard to clear this modest marker. He attempts 10.3 field goals and launches 7.3 three-pointers per game, hitting 50.0% from beyond the arc. He’s put up totals of 12, 16 and 15 in the three duels.
Key Situational Trends:
- DiVincenzo is 3-0 to the over versus a points line of 10.5 in this playoff series.
- DiVincenzo has put up eleven or more points in ten of his last 13 contests.
Pick 2: Nikola Jokic Under 15.5 Rebounds (-132 at DraftKings)
Jokic remains the undisputed engine of his squad, but his rebounding prop of 15.5 is simply priced too high against the most dominant defensive rebounding frontcourt in the postseason. He pulls down a commendable 14.3 rebounds per game in this series, but reaching 16 boards against Minnesota’s twin towers is a mathematically daunting task.
Between Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle, they practically erase second-chance opportunities. Jokic has managed just three total offensive rebounds in the series.
Key Situational Trends:
- Jokic is 3-0 to the under versus a rebounding line of 15.5 this series.
- Jokic has gone under 15.5 rebounds in five of his last six battles against the T-Wolves
DEN vs MIN Key Injuries
Timberwolves Injuries
- Anthony Edwards (Day-To-Day): The star guard is dealing with a knee injury and did not return to Thursday’s Game 3.
- Terrence Shannon Jr (Day-To-Day): Missed Game 3 due to an illness.
- Jaylen Clark (Day-To-Day): Also missed Game 3 while battling an illness.
Nuggets Injuries
- Aaron Gordon (Day-To-Day): The physical frontcourt took a hit when Gordon missed Game 3 with a calf injury.
- Peyton Watson (Out): The wing remains out with a hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined since April 1.
The uncertainty surrounding Edwards casts a massive shadow over the prop market. If he is ruled out or limited, I expect an avalanche of offensive usage to shift toward Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. On the Denver side, Gordon’s day-to-day status keeps his points prop highly volatile. If he remains sidelined, Jokic and Murray will shoulder an even heavier scoring burden inside.
