Six players on the Nuggets scored in double-digits and Jamal Murray led the way with 24.   

Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 18 points, but no one else on the team scored more than 12.  

The Timberwolves finished the regular season with a 42-40 record, which had them as the eighth seed. 

They lost their first play-in tournament game against the Los Angeles Lakers but were able to win against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second. 

Despite having one of the most talented rosters in the league, they had an underwhelming season. 

Last year, they made the playoffs for the first time since the 2018 season. 

As for the Nuggets, they are the first seed in the west and had a 53-29 record. 

They have one of the most talented rosters in the league but are coming off a season where they dealt with injuries and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Golden State Warriors.

The winner of the series will face off with the Phoenix Suns or Los Angeles Clippers in the second round.
