Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
Minnesota Timberwolves have themselves to blame for letting the Dallas Mavericks take Game 1 of their Western Conference final from their hands. Wolves dominated proceedings and led for most of the game, but were never able to open up a double-digit lead. This allowed the Mavericks to steal the game by taking the lead with just 2 minutes to go and maintained for a 108-105 win. Timberwolves are now under extra pressure to take game 2 at all costs if they want to have a chance in this series.
For the Dallas Mavericks, their star players turned up big time in game 1. Luka Doncic returned 33 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists. Kyrie Irving also added 30 points to give the Mavericks a crucial 1-0 lead in this playoffs final. The duo seem to spread out their performances through the game, with Irving hitting 24 of his 30 points in the first half, and Doncic taking over in the 2nd half to score 15 of his 33 points in the 4th quarter. For Minnesota, their best performer of the night was Jaden McDaniels with 24 points.
Antony “Ant-man” Edwards was expected to the be star of the show for the Timberwolves but only managed 19 points in the game. If they are to take game 2, he will have to up his game and give better returns alongside his other teammates. We believe he is up for the challenge and will come out strongly in game 2. Hence, our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks prediction is Antony Edwards Over 27.5 Points.
