Let's dive into my SGP bet now.
Minnesota Timberwolves 1 – 10 Win Margin (+220)
Anthony Edwards sure did sound confident in his post game presser for someone that just went down 3-0 in the series. Ant-Man put on another show with 36 points and 7 rebounds, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 27, but the Timberwolves just couldn't match the ball movement of Denver and their rebounding. The absences of Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels are proving to be too big for this team, with them in the line-up I feel like they could have at least won a couple of games in this series. With them now facing elimination I'm interested to see how they respond. Nobody wants a sweep on their resume, so I think we'll see a maximum effort by the Timberwolves players in this game. Denver has won by 29, 9 and 9 points in the 3 games so far, covering the spread in all 3 of them. Minnesota did finish the regular season with a winning home record, so maybe they can give their fans something to cheer about here, similar to what Atlanta did in Game 3 against Boston. I'll take the T imberwolves to get a consolation win in tonight's game.
