We’ve got the Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Game 3 results according to NBA 2K26 to see who the game thinks will win. The Timberwolves potentially saved their season in Game 2 by coming back to defeat the Nuggets. But the series is still tied since the Nuggets won Game 1. But now the series heads to Minnesota, where anything can happen. Without further ado, let’s dive right in.

Who wins Nuggets vs. Timberwolves Game 3 according to NBA 2K26?

According to our NBA 2K 26 simulation, the Minnesota Timberwolves will defeat the Denver Nuggets in Overtime of Game 3, 121-117

The Timberwolves pulled off their comeback magic again, as they bounced back from a 12-point deficit to beat the Nuggets. Although held to just 19 points in the second period, the Wolves outscored the Nuggets 30-20 in the third quarter to catch up. But the Nuggets manage to tie the game with just 3 seconds left after Nikola Jokic scored the game-tying goal.

In OT, the Timberwolves took the lead once again, while the Nuggets mostly played catch up. But in the end, the Timberwolves managed to get the dub.

With the win, the Timberwolves take their first lead of the series. Furthermore, they get to play in their home court one more time before taking the series back to Denver. If Minnesota can take a 3-1 lead entering Game 5, their chances of winning the series will seem more like a probability rather than a possibility.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets lose Game 3, as well as their second game in a row. Despite taking solid leads early on, Denver seems to struggle at maintaining them. However, they must make the proper adjustments soon, or else they’ll be heading home for good. A win in Game 4 can help them reset the series and potentially bounce back.
