It's a slightly busy Saturday schedule in the NBA with five games, including the Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves matchup. The two Western Conference powerhouses collide for the first time this season at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
Coach David Adelman's starting five features Jamal Murray, Tim Hardaway Jr., Peyton Watson, Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets are down two key players in Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson, who were both ruled out due to injuries.
Meanwhile, coach Chris Finch went with his usual starting lineup consisting of Donte DiVincenzo, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert. The main task for the Timberwolves is to slow down Jokic, who is averaging a triple-double this season and shooting nearly 70.0% from the field.
