Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves make the trip to Denver to take on Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets on Tuesday, April 1. 

With the Timberwolves on a roll, I'm backing Minnesota to pull off the upset on the road tonight. Check out the rest of my Timberwolves vs Nuggets NBA same-game parlay: 

NBA Parlay Today

Odds as of April 1st at Sportsbook

Minnesota Timberwolves Moneyline +128

The Minnesota Timberwolves have won 11 of their past 14 games to drag themselves out of the play-in and into seventh place in the NBA's Western Conference.

In fact, the T-Wolves are fourth in net rating across their last 15 contests at +11. Edwards and company boast a 121.5 offensive rating in that time and have been shooting the lights out with a 58.6% effective field goal percentage. 

Meanwhile, the Nuggets defense continues to be one of the worst units in the NBA. Denver have gone just 8-7 SU with an enormous 119.5 defensive rating in their last 15 games. Moreover, the Timberwolves are 5-0 SU in their last five games against the Nuggets. That's enough for me to bank on the Minnesota moneyline.

Jamal Murray OVER 5.5 Assists +110

Jamal Murray has been dishing the rock lately, surpassing 5.5 assists in seven of his past 10 games. 

The Canadian guard gets a great matchup tonight against a Nuggets squad that has allowed their opponents starting point guard to cross 10 assists in each of their last three games. Additionally, Murray has averaged 11.9 potential assists a night for the Nuggets high-flying offense over his last 10 contests. 

Look for Murray to continue to create for his teammates in an excellent matchup. 

Julius Randle OVER 5.5 Rebounds -158

Bet on Julius Randle to rack up the rebounds tonight. The Denver Nuggets rank 21st in opponent offensive rebounding percentage and struggle to protect the paint. 

Plus, Randle has exceeded 5.5 rebounds in 16 of his last 18 games on the road. The former Knick is averaging 7.7 boards per game during that stretch. Expect to see Randle crash the glass against a Nuggets squad that lacks rim protection and rebounders. 

Randle is at his best as an ultra-aggressive downhill bowling ball who barrels through the paint. That's exactly what the Timberwolves will need tonight, and fits our NBA same-game parlay well. Add Randle OVER 5.5 rebounds as the last leg of my Timberwolves vs Nuggets parlay.
