Xam’s Daily Gem:
Mavericks/Timberwolves Over 207 Points -110 DraftKings
The Western Conference Finals starts tonight and we have some of the best young offensive talent in the league playing in this matchup. Between Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, Jaden McDaniels, Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and even guys like Daniel Gafford, both teams have the offensive talent to score points. In the regular season, these teams played 4 times and they went Over this number in all 4 games! 3 of the 4 games saw the Total land on 220 or more! Both teams are coming off highly emotional series clinching games against the Thunder and Nuggets respectively, so the defensive energy and intensity may be lacking a little bit in this game, at least to start the game. This Play will likely come down to what Dallas can do offensively. They did manager to score points against Minnesota this season, but the Timberwolves are arguably the best defensive team in the league and only gave up 106 PPG this season! They shut down the Nuggets for large portions of their series. The Mavericks, however, know how to score! They averaged nearly 118 PPG this season, and scored 101 or more points in 3 of their 4 games against the Timberwolves. Just as important is that Minnesota scored no less than 108 points against Dallas this season and scored 118 or more points in 3 of their 4 matchups this season! If the offensive stars for both teams can get it going early, we just may be in store for a shootout in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals!
