The Minnesota Timberwolves will look to keep home court advantage when they take on the Denver Nuggets in game three of the NBA playoffs first round. 

The Timberwolves went into Denver and won game, 119-114, to even up the series. Minnesota battled back from a 39-25 deficit after the first quater, tying the game at halftime and coming up with enough clutch shot making and defensive stops in the fourth quarter to steal the contest. The Nuggets had a chance to tie the game late, but a missed free throw by Christian Braun helped secure the win for Minnesota. 

The series is tied 1-1. Game three in Minnesota begins at 9:30 PM ET.

Anthony Edwards is QUESTIONABLE with right knee injury maintenance. The Timberwolves listed Edwards on the injury report for games one and two as well, but he ultimately played in both contests. He logged 40 minutes in game two, finishing with 30 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists.
