The Nuggets are good but with AK47 ~~and possibly RUBIO!~~ back, we can definitely win this. The Nuggets don't play that well on the road. I'll take the Wolves.

-Wallyworld was closest (off by 16) and gets 2 TPs

-Tod Murphy was closest on challenge #2 for 1 TP

-Bonk was closest on challenge #3 for 1 TP

-everyone who picked the Wolves to win gets a TP

-Wallyworld gets a TP for injury updates

Game Challenges

1. Correctly predicting which team wins the game is worth 1 TP.

Worth 2 TP - Pekovic #14, Ridnour #13, Derrick Williams #7, JJ Barea #11, Corey Brewer #13, Jordan Hamilton #1

Worth 3 TP - Josh Howard #5, Malcolm Lee #8, Gallinari #8, Igoudala #9

Worth 4 TP - Love #42, Shved #1, Ty Lawson #3, Javale McGee #34, Andre Miller #24

Worth 10 TP - Kirilenko #47, CunningHAM #33, Stiemsma #34, Lou Amundson #17, Kenneth Faried #35, Koufos the Doofus #41

2 TPs for correctly guessing their points, 2 TPs if your player scores the exact same amount as their jersey number. Any player that plays less than 8 minutes in the game is ineligible to win.

I could be wrong, but seems like we play poorly coming off a lot of days of rest between games?

TWolves 101 - Nuggets 103

2. Guess how many minutes and seconds Ricky Rubio plays! 5 TPs for guessing, 1 TP for being within a minute, 1 TP for closest. If Ricky doesn't play in the game, this challenge is cancelled.

- Ricky not playing...

3. Predict which player will score points closest to their jersey number and guess how many points that player will have.

- Malcolm Lee 8 points!

Question: "Hey Antoine Walker, why do you shoot so many 3's?"

Answer: "Because there are no 4's."

Don't know if this info helps our Ricky playing time challenge, or keeps the confusion going. But here is what Zgoda writes about Rubio's return.

Two weeks ago, the Wolves internally set Wednesday's game against Denver as a target date for Ricky Rubio's return.

On Monday, Adelman said he still doesn't know if Rubio will return Wednesday, Saturday against Dallas or sometime beyond that.

He said it will depend on how Rubio's knee tests out for strength and endurance and the decisions management and the medical staff make about an upcoming schedule that has the Wolves playing four games in five nights -- including three on the road -- after Wednesday.

He said they still must decide if Rubio will be on a minutes limit and how best to approach that, if he'll play back-to-back games and if Adelman wants to start him or bring him off the bench.

"He could go out and play some right now, but is that the smart thing to do?" Adelman said. "I'd like to see him where he's ready to go andright now I don't think anybody can gauge that. He seems fine given the injury he had, but you don't want him to get other injuries by going out too soon and pulling a muscle, doing something like that."

5 days of rest with Love's hand healing, a Denver team not exactly lighting the world on fire...Ricky maybe back....yeah...I think the Wolves take it.

Wolves 102
Nuggs - 95

2. 18:14

3. I like this challenge idea!!! Howard 6

Bonus:

If Ricky plays: He executes a brilliant bounce pass pick and roll with Pek, and the crowd goes wild. This comes 10-15 minutes after Ridnour executes the EXACT same play with the EXACT same pass....and the crowd has little-to-no-reaction when Luke does it.

If Ricky doesn't play: Fried Nugget Faried single digit points AND rebounds.

With 4 games in 5 nights coming up, they might just hold him out until after that is over Since Ricky isn't playing and challenge #2 is cancelled, correctly picking which team wins is worth double points.
