Best bets on Thursday, April 30

The Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic hope to make another statement Thursday night after a 125-113 victory following three straight losses to the Timberwolves. Jokic had a triple-double with 27 points, 12 rebounds and 16 assists in the victory and Jamal Murray led Denver with 24 points. The Nuggets, who led the NBA in scoring during the regular season, had been held to 96 points in consecutive games in Minneapolis. Jokic might be out of his funk, but the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, is leaning hard toward the Timberwolves. Minnesota covers as a 5.5-point underdog in 60% of the model simulations and is winning outright 49% of the time at +187 on the money line.

The Minnesota Wild vs. Dallas Stars series was expected to be a great one, and it hasn't disappointed. The Wild took a 4-2 victory and a 3-2 series lead on Tuesday after the teams split a pair of overtime games in the previous two. Matt Boldy broke a tie with his goal late in the second period, and an empty-net goal provided the final margin. Wild rookie goaltender Jesper Wallstedt had to make 11 saves in the third period and finished with 20. The Wild are -123 favorites on the money line, but the SportsLine model has the Stars winning in 57% of simulations at plus money, and they're covering the +1.5 puck line a whopping 79% of the time, with both picks earning 'B' grades.
