Dallas Mavericks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Picks: Can Luka Doncic, Mavericks Dominate in Game 5?
Dallas Mavericks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Picks: Can Luka Doncic, Mavericks Dominate in Game 5?
If you went on social media at all today, you’d think tonight’s contest between the Mavericks and Timberwolves was Game 7 the way the general public is acting. The vast majority has completely overreacted to Minnesota’s sole win in this series, making it seem like Anthony Edwards legacy season is going to continue. I’m here to tell you that it isn’t, and I’ve got three ways we can profit from Minnesota’s final game of the season…

DALLAS MAVERICKS VS. MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES GAME 5 Prediction
The Mavericks are a team of destiny. They have great team chemistry, which hasn’t always been the case with Kyrie Irving’s teams. The Timberwolves had a better regular season record and Anthony Edwards has shined all year, but right now, the Mavericks are the better team. Anyone who knows and watches basketball can see it; even in their loss the other night where they played poorly they nearly pulled off the victory.
I stated before this series that the Timberwolves were going to steal one game. They have already accomplished this, and I don’t see them keeping their season alive any longer. Luka has been too dominant on the road this postseason and Kyrie is one of the best closers in NBA history. After dropping Game 4, I’m fully expecting the Mavs to finish up the series on Thursday.
If the Mavs are going to win this game, or at least cover, Luka is going to have to drop at least 30 points. That’s exactly where his points prop for tonight is currently sitting at o/u 30.5 on most books. He was not able to eclipse this number in Game 4 after one of his poorest shooting performances of the postseason. I’m willing to bet he bounces back in a big way for Dallas bettors tonight, carrying them to victory. He’s scored 30+ points in each of his last three postseason games on the road… some might say he plays better away from home.
