UNDER is the sharp play. Both clubs exhibit top-3 defensive efficiency in playoff contention. Nuggets' DRTG post-ASB against elite offenses clocked in at 108.7, while Wolves' full-court press throttles transition opportunities. Playoff pace naturally decelerates, shrinking possession counts; expect grind-it-out sets rather than fast breaks. H2H matchups this season averaged 215.3 points, well below the line. 90% NO — invalid if a key defensive starter is benched pre-game.
