prediction
Nuggets 107, Timberwolves 101

Passed.
against proliferation
of Nuggets -4.5 (-115) This decisive Game 7 is worth playing lightly.
Although Denver lost the first two games at home, they finished the job with a 15-point lead on their home floor in Game 5 and a 4.5-point rating, the same as the championship favorites.
Look for the Nuggets to overcome the humiliation of suffering a franchise-record blowout loss in Game 6 and use their experience from last season's championship to advance against the mighty Timberwolves.
over/under
198.5 or higher (-105) is the best play on the board for this game 7.
Yes, there will be some tension and we should see some decent defense at times. But the over is 3-1 in the last four games of this series, including Game 5 in Denver.
The winners of the last four games have scored at least 112 points, while the losers of the first six games have scored 99 points or less in five of those games. Still, they must score at least 200 points in Game 7.
