MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Tim Hardaway Jr. and Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets over the Minnesota Timberwolves 123-112 for their seventh straight victory Saturday night.

The Nuggets were missing both of their starting forwards, Christian Braun (left ankle sprain) and Cam Johnson (right biceps strain), who were both injured during Denver’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Braun is expected to be sidelined at least six weeks.
