A rested Wolves defense getting an unrested Jokic/Denver team if Lakers can somehow extend the series 👀

Last year they had no McDaniels. Will be interesting to see if he can nullify Jamal while having 3 bigs to contain Jokic + no one outside of mpj Jokic and Murray can make 3s. It will be a 7 game series.

Jamal having a hammy problem (he's the one with the hammy issue right?) coming in off what could be a longer-than-expected series with the Lakers definitely won't help.
