Mavericks vs Timberwolves Game 5 Pick

Based on the updated NBA odds for Mavericks vs. Timberwolves, Minnesota is more likely than not to force a Game 6.

But for the purposes of NBA picks, the more important piece of data is which side of the spread is attractive to professional bettors.

As mentioned above, the latest consensus spread for Game 5 is Timberwolves -5, though some sportsbooks are still offering this line at -4.5.

And according to our PRO tools, sharps have not been shy about laying the points thus far in this matchup.

Specifically, Minnesota opened as a 4-point favorite before wiseguys steamed the Wolves on multiple occasions, leaving oddsmakers little choice but to lengthen this number.

Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.

There’s still plenty of time for more action to come piling in on Mavericks vs. Timberwolves, though it’s tough to deny that savvy bettors are leaning toward Minnesota to this point.
