The Timberwolves are coming into this game off of a loss on the road and they have now lost their last 3 straight games. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games by 10+ points, including the last game they played, but they are going to be hungry to bounce back in this game after 3 straight losses, especially since they are facing elimination now. The Timberwolves are going to get up for this game to try and even up the series and they have been very good at home this season as they were 30-11 during the regular season. They also lost both of their home games in this series after beating the Nuggets in Denver's 2 home games to start the series so the Timberwolves are going to be pushing to bounce back with a better performance and they are due to get a home game back here. The Timberwolves opened the playoffs by sweeping the Suns in the 1st round and winning 6 straight games, covering the spread in all 6 of those games, but now they have regressed with 3 straight losses, covering the spread in none of those games, which was bound to happen. Now the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction and just like the Nuggets were very tough to beat down 2-0 in the series from those first 2 games, the Timberwolves are going to be just as hard to beat here in this elimination game at home after 3 straight losses as they are not going to roll over again. This is a series that is worthy of 7 games with the quality on both sides. The Timberwolves will cover the spread in this game.
