The Denver Nuggets will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a do or die game and Nikola Jokic will be vital.
The Denver Nuggets are battling for a post season spot in the final game of the regular season. They will battle the division rival Minnesota Timberwolves and the match up to watch will be the obvious one.
The battle between the two up and coming centers of today’s NBA. Nikola Jokic vs. Karl Anthony Towns. Jokic has to be ready to be productive for the entire game this time.
In the last game vs. the Timberwolves, Jokic struggled in the first half. He did get it going in the second half as he had the game sealing tip in which extended Denver’s win streak. In this game, he must play a complete game.
With the Nuggets playing on the road, they need their best performance from their best player on their team. A great player does everything he can in order to will his team to the post season. This game will show us if the Nuggets’ star has what it takes to elevate a team to the next level.
Will he back down from Karl Anthony Towns, or will he be ready to have possibly his best game of his career yet.
Karl Anthony Towns is going to be hungry as well. He has an opportunity to will the Minnesota Timberwolves to the post season for the first time since 2004. A longer playoff drought than what the Denver Nuggets are currently experiencing.
Jokic vs. Towns looks as if it is going to a headline match up for the distant future and it is already to starting off with a bang.
