- The Minnesota Timberwolves look to eliminate the Denver Nuggets in Game 5 of their Round 1 series Monday
- Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) will not be available for Game 5
- Read below for the latest Timberwolves vs Nuggets player props, and my favorite Game picks
The Denver Nuggets are on the ropes staring elimination in the face in Game 5 of their series at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Denver is returning back home, and the T-Wolves are down some serious bodies in Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles), the latter done for the season. That puts the NBA odds heavily in the home team’s favor.
That also affects how we look at our player props for Monday night. Read below for a list of NBA props, including my best bets for Game 5.

Timberwolves vs Nuggets Prop Bet #1: Nikola Jokic Points
Pick 1: Jokic Under 30.5 points (-110 at bet365)
You’d think that in a must-win game, Nikola Jokic would be off the charts, taking names and filling stat sheets. But that doesn’t feel like the case here. The T-Wolves are the first team that’s been able to handle the 3-time NBA MVP, rather than withstand him,
The result has been Minnesota winning three straight and pushing Denver to the brink. Jokic is shooting just 39.1% from the field in the series, and his jumper has escaped him, as he’s just 5-for-27 from the series, an 18.5% clip.
Nikola Jokic Series Game Lines
His rebounding is there, but Jokic’s scoring has taken a hit, as he’s yet to crack the 30-point plateau in this series, and save for Game 1, when he shot 11-for-19 from the field, Minnesota has limited him to 23-for-68 shooting the next three, a 33.8% rate. This is a guy that shot 56.9% from the field this season.
MIN T-Wolves vs DEN Nuggets Prop Bet #2: Ayo Dosunmu Points
Pick 2: Ayo Dosunmu Over 19.5 points (-120 at bet365)
Game 3 will forever be the Ayo Dosunmu game, as he lit the Nuggets up for 43 points on 13-for-17 shooting from the field. But the truth is the trade deadline pickup from the Bulls has seemed to find his footing in this series and on this team.
In Game 3, Dosunmu went for 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting, and he’ll be counted on to deliver Monday, as Edwards and DiVincenzo are out. He scored 23 points total in Games 1 and 2 in Denver, but the 26-year-old will be the top guard option in Game 5, so he’ll have plenty of opportunities to go for 20+ a third straight game.

With Minnesota’s defense looking top-tier, they’ll need to keep it extra tight on D without their dynamic guards. We mentioned Jokic struggled scoring, but he’s averaging 14.5 rebounds in the series, including grabbing at least 15 rebounds in each of the last three games.
And I’m taking Christian Braun as the classic do well at home vs the road player. He totaled 10 points in two games at Minnesota, while scoring in double digits in both home games in this series, topping his 11.5 line set for Monday both times.
