T.M. Selection: Mavericks.

Minnesota is on the ropes, and I say the Wolves have already thrown in the white towel. This has been a bad matchup for Minnesota since the start. The big men were able to handle Nikola Jokic in the previous series, but this slightly smaller and more atheltic Mavericks line-up is just a difficult matchup for the Wolves. Kyrie Irving is 14-0 in his career in NBA Playoff series closing opportunities and everything points to that streak continuing here. Let's bypass the spread and instead take on the ML.

T.M. Prediction: 111-100.
