Best bets, oddsmaker insights for Mavs-Wolves Game 2
Can the Wolves find a way to even the series vs. Luka and Kyrie?
Well, it was fun while it lasted for the Indiana Pacers. Certainly a lesson learned that when you’re the less talented team overall and have a chance to steal Game 1 on the road, you must capitalize.
The Boston Celtics (-8.5) beat Indiana comfortably 126-110 on Thursday night, and even more importantly was that Tyrese Haliburton Haliburton injured his left hamstring — the same hamstring that kept him out of 10 games this season back in January — and didn’t return. The Celtics are now overwhelming -8000 favorites to win the series at DraftKings and 7-point road favorites in Game 3.
On Friday night, we return to Minnesota where my Timberwolves (-5.5) try to even the series against the Mavs. Here is the public betting info from several sportsbooks, insights from oddsmakers I spoke with on Friday and aggregated best bets on the game.

Oddsmaker insights
“Much like Game 1, we’re very balanced on the side. Small decision on the total as it stands now. Money coming in on the under.” — Thomas Gable, sportsbook director at The Borgata in New Jersey
