The Nuggets come into the night with a 2-0 lead, so they can end the series if they win Games 3 and 4 on the road.  

That said, the Timberwolves have been solid on their home floor, going 22-19 in 41 games at the Target Center.  

They finished the year as the eighth seed in the Western Conference and had a 42-40 record. 

Last year, the franchise made the NBA Playoffs for the first time since the 2018 season and lost to the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round. 

Meanwhile, the Nuggets went 53-39 and are the first seed in the west. 

Despite their success, they have struggled on the road, going just 19-22 in 41 games played away from Colorado. 

Therefore, the Timberwolves will have the chance to make the series interesting. 

The Nuggets are coming off a season where they dealt with injuries and lost in the first round to the Golden State Warriors. 

Now that they are healthy, there is an excellent chance they could make a deep run.
