Spread: Timberwolves (-4.5) | Moneyline: Mavericks (+162), Timberwolves (-194) | Total: 209.5 | Location: Target Center in Minneapolis, MN | How to Watch: TNT, TNT App (live stream)
Unlike Games 1-3, Dallas’ star backcourt of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving struggled in Game 4, shooting a combined 13-of-39 from the field. Conversely, Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns had their best performances of the series, scoring 29 and 25 points, respectively. To that end, whichever duo manages to outproduce the other will likely be the difference in the outcome. Given their prior consistency, I’m banking on a bounce back from Doncic and Irving, and I like the Mavs to close things out and advance to their third NBA Finals in franchise history.
Best Bets: Mavericks +4.5 (-108), Mavericks Moneyline (+162)
