Nuggets Favored Despite Timberwolves' Tough Matchup
27 Oct
Summary
- Nuggets look to move to 2-1 on the season
- Timberwolves' star Anthony Edwards faces injury uncertainty
- Cameron Johnson aims to find his shooting touch for Nuggets
As of October 28th, 2025, the Denver Nuggets are set to face the Minnesota Timberwolves in a Western Conference matchup. The Nuggets, who dropped their season opener against the Golden State Warriors but bounced back with a blowout win over the Phoenix Suns, are favored on the road.
The Timberwolves, who have started the season 2-1, may be without their star guard Anthony Edwards. Edwards left Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers just three minutes in with a hamstring injury and did not return. His status for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets is uncertain, putting the Wolves in a tough spot against the more talented Nuggets.
One player to watch for the Nuggets is forward Cameron Johnson, who is still adjusting to his new team. Johnson has averaged 10.0 points per game while shooting 35.3% from the field and 22.2% from beyond the arc in the first two games. Despite his early struggles, the Nuggets will likely continue to rely on Johnson's shooting ability as the season progresses.
