I literally can’t think of a single reason other than “the nuggets are bound to lose a game soon and the Wolves are bound to win one soon.” And because it’s ESPN I’m safely assuming that’s all the thought they put into this as well.

They been saying Wolves can beat us since 2018. Let them talk

Road game or home game ?

This isn’t outrageous to me. I could see the Wolves taking this one
porkadachop
They are desperate and at home.

I mean, even if the Nuggets lose they’re still one of, if not the most dominant team in the league right now. That and it’s still super early in the season, no need to get all doomer about a potential loss

If the starters play like in the Utah game, yeah, we are losing this. That’s not going to happen. KCP has been going off on defense, our bench is looking insane, and I have a feeling that MPJ is going to have a game now that his ankle is probably feeling good.

It’s espn. They are bums who make money by having bad takes that drive engagement.

The Nuggets are playing their 5th games in 7 days with 3 of them were on roads.

Well the ESPN Analytics thinks the Clippers are going to win the Western Conference…. so yeah. They might need to recalibrate.

I can see them shoot like crazy. Road games are hard to predict. Our defense makes me confident in pretty much every game though

Even despite the chip, the Nuggets will always be underrated and underestimated. We don’t care tho!
OptionalBagel
Clearly ESPN analytics thinks this is a trap game as the Nuggets look ahead to their first in-season-tournament game.

The Thunder were favored to beat us as well. Grain of salt.

Wolves are home and are a good team

Winning fatigue ; )

ESPN really operating on “well fuck it, they gotta lose at some point”
burrito_fister
Damn on Saturday it will be the Nuggets 5th game in 7 days, this schedule is grueling
minedigger
But the real analytics experts (Betting line makers) have Nuggets as a 3 point favorite

Everyone saying things like “We have to lose at some point” and “We aren’t going 82-0” is missing the point. The Nuggets are a better team than the Timberwolves and until they lose a game, it makes no sense to pick Minny just because “They’ll win one eventually”.
