MINNEAPOLIS – In a closeout opportunity in Game 5, the Minnesota Timberwolves are heavy favorites to move on to the Western Conference Finals after defeating the Golden State Warriors at home.

Legal sports betting sites did not hold back at all when setting the odds for Game 5, given the circumstances of Minnesota playing at home and the Warriors still dealing with injuries to Stephen Curry.

TWolves Win, But Do They Cover?

After the first two games of the series between Minnesota and Golden State started with double digit margin wins, they have been kept close in the last two with both games being decided within seven points. Most notably, each of the last two games have been played by Golden State without Steph.

Jimmy Butler has had his fingerprints all over each of the last two games with 47 points across both games. Being that this is a closeout game and Curry is expected back in Game 6, we could see Butler and company do whatever it takes to get the series back to San Francisco and at least cover the spread on NBA betting sites.

Updates Series Price Odds

To no surprise, the Timberwolves are astronomical favorites to win the series against Golden State with their commanding 3-1 lead. At their price of -5000, a $100 wager would payout just $2.
