VSIN.com: Bet Timberwolves to beat Mavericks in NBA Playoffs series
Jonathan Von Tobel writes: "Minnesota has the wing defenders to put on Doncic and Irving. Their ability to guard in one-on-one situations will allow other defenders to stay at home and challenge lesser shooters like Washington and Jones. They are – once again – the deeper team as well. The betting market rushed to back the favorite on Sunday night, and I would be in agreement with that initial move. I would also say the probability of the Timberwolves winning this series is higher than -170 would imply. A straight up series price bet has value in it, as do the other derivative markets tied to the series."

Stephen Noh writes: "This series is going to be a dogfight between two great teams. Minnesota is as well-equipped as anyone to slow down Luka's pick-and-rolls while also having another quality defender to throw at Irving. That should give the Timberwolves the edge in this series."
