In a Wednesday day where up to eight games will be played, perhaps the most important will be the one between Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves, the first two classified in the Western Conference. As it could not be otherwise, Nikola Jokic and Anthony Edwards will be the stars of the game.
The Timberwolves will serve as visitors in a game that, why is so important? Right now, the Minnesota franchise shares first place in the West with Denver, both with a 55-24 record. With just three games left in each team's regular season, a win tonight would put the winning side one foot on the final throne of their Conference.
The Nuggets will be the home team, and they will do so taking into account that the Oklahoma City Thunder will be watching closely what happens in this game. The OKC franchise is 3rd with a 54-25 record, and still has a chance to finish at the top of the Western Conference.
