Nobody likes their division rivals, but Denver Nuggets fans really don't like the Timberwolves. They ended Denver's quest for a back-to-back title in 2024, and the Nuggets went 0-4 against the Timberwolves during the 2024-25 season. For whatever reason, Minnesota has Denver's number, but that script could flip next season.
The Timberwolves have a glaring hole on their roster — no depth at point guard. That's something the Nuggets are dealing with as well, but not to the same extent as Minnesota (ever heard of Jamal Murray?!). Their starting point guard is Mike Conley, who will turn 38 before next season starts.
