<p>The Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves will reacquaint themselves with each other on Boxing Day, with it being the third meeting of the 2025/26 NBA regular season between them.</p> <p>The Nuggets currently boast a 2-0 record so far, and have been among the top teams in a competitive Western Conference (despite OKC’s dominance at the top). The Timberwolves haven’t exactly been bad themselves, as they've performed to a high standard for the majority of the campaign; they just tend to struggle against Denver.</p> <p>Will the Nuggets make it 3-0 on Friday, December 26, when the game tips off at 14:30 AEDT.&nbsp;Read on for our NBA betting tips for our expert Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves betting predictions…</p> <h2>Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Betting Preview</h2> <p>Naturally, it’s very easy to look at the results this year between the two teams to gauge what may happen in this upcoming fixture. As noted, Denver hold a 2-0 lead, which would suggest that there’s an air of likelihood that they will make it three wins on the bounce.</p> <p>However, when looking at the last two years of matches (nine games), things become more interesting. The Timberwolves had a stretch in which they dominated Denver, winning four games in a row. Over the nine games played, they lead 5-4.</p> <p>Still, this season’s matches will be what most look at:</p> <ul> <li>Nov 2025: Timberwolves 112-123 Nuggets</li> <li>Oct 2025: Timberwolves 114-127 Nuggets</li> </ul> <p>The scorelines were fairly similar, with <strong>Nikola Jokic</strong> being an influential figure in both. In both matches, he scored a triple-double. He led the November game in points (27) and rebounds (12), while in the October game, he led in rebounds (19) and assists (10). He still scored 25 points, but <strong>Jamal Murray</strong> had 43 in that game.</p> <h2>Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba/minnesota-timberwolves-at-denver-nuggets-9614146">Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves betting odds</a> at Sportsbet have the <strong>Denver Nuggets as the favourites.</strong></p> <p>Indeed, our top Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves betting prediction also aligns with that idea, as we<strong> believe the Nuggets will be too strong</strong> for the Timberwolves and make it 3-0 between them this season.</p> <p>When looking for additional value, we think there is a lot of value in backing the<strong> ‘Denver Nuggets 1 - 10’</strong> outcome in the <strong>‘Big Win Little Win’.</strong> While both of their matches were over 10 points, they only just hit. With the Timberwolves performing well, we think this meeting could be a bit tighter than those played in October and November.</p> <p>We’re also of the opinion that the <strong>‘Minnesota Timberwolves (+4.5)’ </strong>handicap market adds further value, as we think Minnesota could cover. While we think they will lose, we see value in backing them to lose by fewer than five points.</p> <p><strong>Jokic to score another triple-double</strong> is also a strong betting prediction.</p>
