MIN vs DAL Team Preview
Minnesota Timberwolves Team Updates (1-3):
- Although it appeared that the Minnesota Timberwolves would also win this series, the Mavericks are currently leading 3-1, making it seems unlikely.
- Edwards and Towns scored 70 points less than Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving combined in the first three games of the series, but they scored 10 more in the fourth game.
- Towns must play at a very high level for Minnesota to win, and Edwards must also provide noticeably stronger performances, particularly in terms of scoring.
Dallas Mavericks Team Updates (3-1):
- Now is a fantastic time for the Dallas Mavericks to make it to the NBA Finals. They lead the series 3-1 and have a great opportunity even if they missed their first opportunity.Game 4 for Dallas wasn’t good.
- By far its weakest offensive effort of the series, it scored just 98 points with a FG% of just 50.6% off.
- The rest of the team needs to step up and offer assistance since Doncic and Irving will probably perform as expected.

Timberwolves vs Mavericks Prediction
- In their previous five home postseason games, the Minnesota Timberwolves have suffered four losses. As previously stated, they are anxious about their narrow victory in a game in which the rival team’s greatest players did not perform to expectations.
- Although the Dallas Mavericks should shoot much better this time, we think the Timberwolves’ victory in the most recent game will give them a boost in securing a home game.
