DEN vs MIN Dream11: If the form is anything to go by, it could be a mismatch as the team with the best run in the league, Denver Nuggets, host the team with the worst streak at the moment, Minnesota Timberwolves, at Pepsi Center, in Denver, on Saturday morning (IST).
The Nuggets will be defending their four game-winning run, and are favourites actually, as the Wolves are short o form and confidence these days. What’s even more concerning for the Wolves and their fans is that not only they are losing games, but are losing by some big margins, with their offence too blunt beyond Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns. Denver Nuggets, on the other hand, are just the opposite in every sense. All the players on the roster are contributing in some way, with the big guns, as usual, doing their parts.
