This season Timberwolves have shown their potential of scoring high by averaging a total of 113 points in every game that they have played. Their percentage of the shots made from the field for the season is 48.5% highly contributed by various players who used their shooting skills to create their own shots. The team also has good perimeter shooting too. They average 12.6 three-pointers per game at a 38.7% clip. Still, their ATS record, especially away from home (22-18), indicates that they are rather up-and-down about hitting the bigger number. This aspect could impact betting plans, especially with their last one four games against the spread.

Being the side with Luka Doncic as their key player, the Mavericks have outplayed the Timberwolves with over 117.9 points per game. They take an average of 39.5 threes per game, higher than that of Minnesota and converted 14.6 of those attempts, though the shooting percentage was a little lower at 36.9%. Such a high rate of increased productivity can be explained by the fact that this is a highly active team, which means they are particularly dangerous when they are on the field. Their over/under record on the road is 27-14, which demonstrates a solidness that may pay off as the ascending moneymakers, interested to further expand their lead in the series.

Anthony Edwards (SG) vs. Luka Doncic (PG)

The Timberwolves have relied on Anthony Edwards this season; Edwards played 79 games for the team and scored 25.9 points on average. Despite this fault, he proves to be an all-rounded player by scoring, and on average, doing 5.1 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game. Mavs’ defense is not very much threatening to Edwards’s athleticism and scoring prowess. However, his 3.1  turnover per game can be considered vulnerable for a team that converts such turnovers into possessions.

Still, Luka Doncic is not only the maverick’s top scorer but also one of the key playmakers with 33.9 points and 9.8 assists per game. This is due to his height and given that he is a point guard, he has a very good field vision and can create very good shots that others cannot. Sure, he is one of the leaders in the league in turnovers with an average of 4 turnovers per game but then again his contribution to the Dallas team is more of a positive than a negative.

The interaction of these leading personalities will determine the performance on the field when these two sides come face to face. While playing Edwards has to bank on his speed and quickness to match the physicality of Doncic and his ability to visualize the court. Direct scoring by Edwards may prove critical to his team while Doncic’s all-around style of play may determine the pace and overall performance of the match.
