While not technically an elimination game for the Minnesota Timberwolves, it might as well be, as their chances of reaching the NBA Finals would be slim to none if they were to go down 3-0 in the series. They finished the regular season with the best scoring defense in the league, and I think they'll step up the intensity on the defensive end again and make it difficult for the Mavs.

I like the Wolves to cover the spread in a low-scoring game.

3* PLAY ON THE UNDER.
