Team totals have been tragic for us in the NBA Playoffs but here we are with another one that is just too tempting to pass up on tonight. The Nuggets have all the momentum in this series now after winning games 3 and 4 on the road to even up the series now they head back home to play in front of their home crowd. We are targeting them and their offense in tonight's Nuggets vs Timberwolves Best Bet for Game 5.

Team Total
Nuggets Over (104.5)
I said no more team totals and here I am taking a team total. You don’t have to take this one. I get it, our track record for team totals is pathetic in the playoffs but 104.5 after two big wins on the road is too tempting for me.
The Nuggets were out played in both of their home games in this series but then went on the road and got two good wins with point totals of 117 and 115 in those games clearing this number by 10+.
Denver shortened up the bench minutes in those games which allowed the starting 5 to be out their more which led to more efficient offense shooting over 50% in both Games 3 and 4.
I’d expect the same approach tonight and add in the boost of the home crowd who will be back to life with a chance to go up in this series and I like the Nuggets to clear 104.5 tonight.
I will fully accept and trash talking from anyone if this goes under and then I will really not take another team total the rest of the season….
