Minnesota is aiming to build on its nail-biting 140-139 double-overtime victory on Thursday night, when it continues a five-game road trip against the Nets in New York for the first meeting of the regular-season series. The Wolves overcame a dominant performance by Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic, who scored a career-high 61 points.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker knocked down two free throws with one-tenth of a second left in the second overtime to lift Minnesota to a 140-139 win. Jokic scored the final two points of his career-setting performance by sinking a pair of free throws to put the Nuggets up 139-138.

Brooklyn is coming off an impressive 113-109 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday, when the team posted its first winning streak of March by overcoming a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit.
Although the Nets sit below .500, they’ve managed to defeat the playoff-bound Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Lakers while also beating the Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks, two teams gunning for play-in spots.
Per ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, the Timberwolves have a 79.2% chance of defeating Brooklyn. The Wolves are 4-1 in their past five meetings with the Nets, while Brooklyn is 4-16 in its last 20 contests.
