Best bets, oddsmaker insights for Mavs-Wolves Game 5

Can the Timberwolves keep their season alive ... again?

The Minnesota Timberwolves kept their season alive on Tuesday night. Can they do it again tonight?

Minnesota has lost four of its last five home games in the NBA Playoffs, dropping Games 3 and 4 to Denver and the opening two games of the Western Conference Finals to Dallas. However, the Wolves are also now 3-0 in elimination games this postseason.

My usual entry is below on the public betting information from five different sportsbooks, insights from oddsmakers and aggregated best bets on the game.
