Timberwolves vs. Mavericks : This team will win the series
It’s an absolutely fascinating matchup in which defense will be king. The Wolves will face a good paint defense for the first time in Dallas, which can take away a lot of the things that worked against Phoenix and Denver. The Mavs will invite Minnesota to beat them from outside, especially the Wolves’ role players are very shaky in that regard.
A lot will also depend on Towns. Can he avoid foul trouble, dominate offensively and take pressure off Edwards? On the other hand, the Wolves at least have an answer against Doncic with McDaniels, but maybe he is missing a few kilos to really annoy Luka. Doncic has now had a few days off, but this series is played every other day.
In the end, the deciding factor will be whose role players score better from the three-point line, as the stars will probably neutralize each other. It should be very rough again, with a lot of half-court offense and exciting battles under the basket. Dallas should be ahead here, after all, they have already survived similar series against the Clippers and OKC. Tip: Mavericks in 7.
