Timberwolves vs. Nuggets schedule: Where to watch Game 5, NBA scores, predictions, odds for NBA playoff series

The Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves are tied, 2-2, in their second-round NBA playoff series ahead of a pivotal Game 5 on Tuesday night. The Wolves stormed out to a 2-0 series lead with two wins on the road in Denver before the reigning champs battled back to tie the series with a pair of road victories of their own. It’s now essentially a best-of-three series for a spot in the Western Conference Finals.

The Nuggets were blown out in Game 2 of this series before bouncing back over the weekend. The 2023 champs looked more like themselves in Games 3 and 4.

“Game 2 definitely woke us up,” Jamal Murray said after the Game 4 win. “We realized we can’t hold ourselves back.”

Murray’s half-court buzzer-beater capped an absurd end-of-the-first half run on Sunday. Murray finished with 19 points in Game 4, while Nikola Jokic looked like the MVP, scoring 35 points and adding seven rebounds and seven assists. Anthony Edwards had a game-high 44 points for the Wolves, but Karl-Anthony Towns struggled in Game 4 with 13 points on 5-of-18 shooting.

Here’s what to know about Tuesday’s Game 5.
