Minnesota Timberwolves Form

Minnesota come into this game aiming to level up the series before returning home for Games 3 & 4.

The Timberwolves finished the regular season with a 42-40 record that earned them eighth place in the Western Conference and a spot in the Play-In Tournament.

They ended the regular season on a three-game win streak, but lost their first Play-In matchup, 108-102, to the Los Angeles Lakers in overtime.

Minnesota rebounded immediately to book a playoff berth though, beating Oklahoma City 120-95 last Friday night.

However, the Timberwolves made a losing start to this series as they were shut down offensively in a 109-80 defeat in Denver in Game 1.

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver have an opportunity to take a 2-0 series lead to Minnesota after winning the series opener.

The Nuggets compiled a 53-29 regular season record that sealed top spot in the Western Conference and homecourt advantage for the playoffs.

Their good overall form allowed them to take their foot off the gas over the final few weeks of the regular season as they lost five of their final seven games.

Denver were back to form in the opening game of this postseason series with Minnesota, however.

The Nuggets took a 1-0 series lead on Sunday night as they made straightforward work of the Timberwolves, winning 109-80.
