00:03 >> Head back to the Twin Cities for a game five where the spread is four and a half.
00:08 And the total is 209 and a hook.
00:11 A little bit of market movement to Minnesota as you will see.
00:14 And the total up by a half point as well.
00:18 What are your early thoughts, DRS, for this fifth game of the WCF tomorrow?
00:23 >> Hey, it should be a Minnesota Timberwolves win because you finally got what you were waiting for.
00:27 Not only a win to enter into the series, okay, maybe we can make a longer series out of it.
00:32 But you saw the superstars, Anthony Edwards, Carl Anthony Towns, get back into the flow.
00:36 And now you're at home where you know your B-level guys are supposed to play even better than when they do on the road.
00:41 So I take a look at that overnight line, which at the FanDuel Sportsbook here in New Jersey, opened up as a four-point line.
00:46 Increases to a four and a half. I don't have any issue with that.
00:48 The total also opened up at 208 and a half. Now sitting at 209 and a half.
00:52 No issue with that either at this point.
00:54 I expect to have a great performance out of both basketball teams, but also we are handicappers, and you read into the odds.
00:59 The odds are right now the Minnesota Timberwolves should win game number five, therefore going back to Dallas for a game number six.
01:06 And we all would love to see that as well.
01:07 But I just think the way the Timberwolves won yesterday was so big.
01:11 It wasn't they pulled a rabbit out of a hat with an unknown guy scoring 30 points.
01:15 You leaned on your biggest stars in the biggest moments, and they provided the fuel to the victory.
01:20 That's what I like most about it here.
01:21 They didn't get a bad performance out of the Dallas Mavericks, but you finally got what you came for with the Timberwolves.
01:25 Able to have a lead in the fourth quarter and close the door with an Anthony Edwards jump shot, which gave them that five-point lead late in the game.
01:32 That's what I wanted to see because that rolls over. That momentum goes there.
01:35 Go ahead, Anthony Towns in the first quarter.
01:37 If he went 0 for 8 again from three-point range in game number four, maybe he's like, you know what? I'll pass this basketball.
01:42 He knocks down a couple three-point shots, sees that ball go through, Ben.
01:45 What's he doing in game number five? Hey, man, confidence is a go.
01:48 Let's let it roll.
