Denver Nuggets What To Watch:

There are seven NBA preseason games on Thursday, including the Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves contest. This will be the final preseason matchup for both Western Conference playoff candidates.

The Nuggets have a 0–4 record and are winless in the preseason thus far. Despite being 2-2, the Timberwolves have lost two straight games. Both clubs' starters should get significant playing time in this match.

In their 145 meetings during the regular season, Denver had a commanding 89-56 advantage over the other team. The two teams tied the series 2-2 after meeting four times during the 2023–24 regular season. 

Going winless in the preseason is extremely unusual for Denver, but that is where they are going into the last game. The Oklahoma City Thunder crushed the Nuggets 124-94 on Tuesday. However, the absence of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic was somewhat to blame. With 15 points, Michael Porter Jr. led the squad while they were away.

The competition Denver has encountered thus far may possibly be a contributing factor in some of its difficulties. The squad lost twice to the Boston Celtics in Abu Dhabi to start the preseason. The Nuggets then fell short against the Phoenix Suns.

Minnesota Timberwolves What To Watch:

The Timberwolves recently suffered a narrow defeat against the Chicago Bulls, 125-123, on Wednesday. Julius Randle, who was recently acquired, scored 15 points in his first game for Minnesota. In addition, he had five assists and six rebounds. Donte DiVincenzo scored 17 points off the bench, while Anthony Edwards scored 16.

Russell Westbrook and Nikola Jokic were rested by the Nuggets on Tuesday, but they should be back in action on Thursday. Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Jamal Murray (knee) are daily. Coach Mike Malone is expected to start if Murray is unable to play:

Naz Reid, who is battling a shoulder impingement, is the Timberwolves' only injury issue. Chris Finch, the Minnesota coach, ought to start:
