The defending NBA champions will go from one tough challenge to another when the Minnesota Timberwolves come to town for Game 1 on Saturday.

Anthony Davis clearly wore Jokic down during the opening-round series, and with Rudy Gobert and Towns awaiting him at the other end, the Nuggets could be looking at a tough spot to advance. Sounding off other alarm bells is Jamal Murray’s calf strain mixed with an ankle injury for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope that he sustained Monday night.Murray looked plenty healthy Monday and will have time to rest until Saturday’s Game 1, but calf injuries are sketchy; we’ve seen this go badly with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and previous examples that involved Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant.
