The Timberwolves are coming into this game down 3-1 in the series, but now they are going to have some confidence in this game as they finally got a win in the series. They are coming back home for this game 5 where they have been much better as a team this season and considering how they lost the first 2 games of this series at home, they are going to get up for this game to keep their season alive in front of their home fans. They are still facing elimination here so they are going to bring everything they have for this game, but they finally started to find some rhythm in the last game by switching up the defensive duties so they are going to continue that here with some confidence in their step now. They are going up against a Mavericks team that had a chance to close out this series in game 4, but they failed to do so as closing out a team is one of the toughest things to do. Now they have given the Timberwolves life and they are only going to get stronger as they win more games. They may be down 3-1 in this series, but this is still a Timberwolves team that won 3 of the 4 meetings against the Mavericks during the regular season, including both games at home, and they are going to be hungry to stay alive in this series by putting on a show in front of the home crowd, something they failed to do in the first 2 games. The Timberwolves are a very talented team and they have the kind of team that can complete the comeback against the Mavericks. The Timberwolves are going to cover the spread in this game in their first blowout win of this series.
