The Minnesota Timberwolves are still alive, but they’re hanging on for dear life in the Western Conference Finals after winning Game 4 to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks.
Minnesota is favored by 4.5 points at home in this matchup as it looks to become the first team to ever erase a 3-0 series deficit in NBA history. The Wolves still need three more wins to get there, but the early odds indicate that Vegas expects this series to get back to Dallas.
I’m focusing on a pair of player props for Thursday’s action, and unlike Tuesday when we bet on stars like Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards, there are role players that I think have some value in Game 5.
