Rivalry continues as Nuggets host Timberwolves for Game 1
Denver slugged its way past Minnesota in 2023 on its way to the NBA title. The Minnesota Timberwolves derailed a Denver Nuggets repeat with a Game 7 upset in 2024.
Act III of this sometimes-bitter rivalry kicks off Saturday afternoon when No. 3 Denver hosts No. 6 Minnesota for Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.
Since the calendar turned to 2023 the teams have played 28 times, including the playoffs, and each has won 14 games. The Timberwolves dominated the four regular-season matchups in 2024-25 but the Nuggets took three of the four meetings this season, including an overtime thriller on Christmas night.
And there is star power, most notably from Minnesota's outspoken guard Anthony Edwards and Denver's more muted triple-double machine Nikola Jokic. Both are expected to play at a high level so the outcome could come down to the supporting cast and injuries.
For the Timberwolves, Edwards and Jaden McDaniels have missed time with knee injuries and Naz Reid, one of the many who will try to stop Jokic, has been dealing with ankle and shoulder injuries. Edwards is considered questionable for Saturday.
The Nuggets have gotten healthier after a season full of injuries. Aaron Gordon played just 36 games due to multiple hamstring injuries and Christian Braun, who would draw the primary assignment on Edwards, was limited to 54 games because of an ankle sprain.
Denver's Peyton Watson missed 25 of the last 30 games with a hamstring strain, and Spencer Jones missed the past two weeks of the season with the same injury.
Watson was officially ruled out for Game 1 on Friday, while Jones was listed as questionable.
Edwards averaged 30.3 points in three games against Denver this season. Jokic, who averaged a triple-double for the second straight season (27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists), feasted on Minnesota. In four games against the Timberwolves, he averaged 35.8 points, 15 rebounds and 11.3 assists.
Minnesota, like every other team, will make containing Jokic a priority. But it won't be easy.
"Probably gotta call God and talk to him for a little bit and ask him for a few favors," Timberwolves forward Julius Randle said of guarding Jokic. "It's going to be a tough matchup. He's an incredible player."
Jokic leads the NBA's top-ranked offense that averaged 122.1 points a game and 125 against Minnesota. The Timberwolves gave up an average of 114.6 points this season, which was 12th in the league.
Denver retooled its roster in the offseason for another run at a championship. The Nuggets traded Michael Porter Jr. to Brooklyn for Cam Johnson, and the salary relief led to signing Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. and trading for Jokic's backup, Jonas Valanciunas.
Brown was on the 2023 team that beat the Timberwolves in the first round and, despite winning in five games, called it the hardest series on the road to the title.
Denver is expecting another tough one in 2026, and the sense of urgency is there.
"To win a championship, you need the guys to step up at the right moment. If it is not your night one game, it's OK because the next one is coming soon," Jokic said. "I think we need everybody on our roster. Everybody needs to step up."
