Denver at Minnesota

Denver went on the road for Game 3, and the offense looked lost, shooting 34% while scoring 96 points, including 39 in the first half. During the regular season, the defense was 13th in shooting allowed and third in defending beyond the arc. Minnesota's defense was 12th in points given up, seventh in shooting allowed, and 13th in defending the 3-pointer. They've held Denver to an average of 108.6 points in the first three games, almost 14 points below its season average. With so much at stake, both defenses will give it their all, with the wagering value on a low-scoring first half. Take Denver/Minnesota First Half UNDER the total.
