The Nuggets defeated the Timberwolves on Sunday night, which means that they will not have one of the top 20 picks in June's NBA Draft.

Oklahoma City will receive the selection from Denver as part of a Jan. 7 trade. The Nuggets also sent the Thunder guard Chucky Atkins while getting center Johan Petro and a 2009 second-round pick in return.

If Denver landed a top 20 pick they would have kept this year's selection, and sent Oklahoma City their 2010 first-round pick.
