VSIN.com: Bet the Timberwolves beat the Mavericks in the NBA playoffs series

Jonathan Von Tobel writes: “Minnesota has the wing defenders to put on Doncic and Irving. Their ability to defend in one-on-one situations will allow other defenders to stay home and challenge weaker shooters like Washington and Jones. They are – once.” Again, the betting market was quick to pick the favorite on Sunday evening and I would agree with this initial move. I would also say the odds of the Timberwolves winning this series are higher than -170 “A straight up series price bet has value, as do the other derivatives markets tied to the series.”
