Two of the NBA’s hottest teams clash on Saturday night as the Denver Nuggets (9-2) take a six-game winning streak into Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves (8-4), winners of four straight. However, the Nuggets may be without two-time MVP Nikola Jokić due to a wrist injury and will also be without Christian Braun (ankle).
