The Timberwolves have won three straight games against the Nuggets to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the first round of the NBA playoffs, but they will likely be without their starting backcourt for the rest of the series. They will still have to earn their way into the second round. There have been 13 teams in the history of the NBA to come back from a 3-1 series deficit. Oddly enough, the Nuggets were the last team to do it, and they did it twice during the 2020 NBA playoffs in the bubble. The Cavaliers were the last team to do it before that in the 2016 NBA Finals. According to FanDuel Sportsbook , the Wolves are favored to win the series with -158 betting odds before Game 5 on Monday night. Those odds would give them a 61.24% implied probability of advancing to the second round. The Wolves are 11.5-point underdogs for Game 5 in Denver. Those odds imply that Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo are essentially worth four points, as they were 7.5-point underdogs for Games 1 and 2 in Denver.…
