The basketball experts are split on what should be a tough and physical series for both the Mavericks and Timberwolves
The Dallas Mavericks are starting the Western Conference Finals tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves, with predictions for the series flying in. The Mavericks didn't have many supporters against the Clippers before winning that series, then the opinion was split 50/50 for the Thunder series. So what didOf the 15 analysts polled for ESPN, 9 have the Timberwolves winning and 6 picked the Mavericks, with everyone having the series go at least six games.
This seems to be the consensus everywhere, with the Timberwolves picking up the majority of predictions at around a 60:40 split. The Wolves are the small betting favorites for the series, but Dallas has been the underdog in every series so far and has come out on top. Luka Doncic's health may be the deciding factor in this series, as he's dealing with knee and ankle issues. He played better in the final two games of the Thunder series, but that was still the worst playoff series he's ever had . The Timberwolves may not have much experience at this stage of the postseason but they're mostly healthy and have their own young phenom in Anthony Edwards, who has made big plays in the Playoffs.
