Finally, the Minnesota Timberwolves will enter a game in a healthier state than their opponent.
The Denver Nuggets arrive at Target Center tied for the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference but sans three starters in Jamal Murray, Paul Millsap, and Gary Harris. The Wolves will be without Jake Layman yet again and new acquisition Allen Crabbe is questionable with an illness, but that's the extent of the injuries for the home team.
The Nuggets have understandably scuffled a bit since the injuries began to take their toll, losing to Cleveland last week, needing overtime to beat a 10-34 Golden State squad and losing to Indiana on Sunday, but they've still won five of their last seven games overall.
