Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-5.5) for Grizzlies – 1.80.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 230.5 – 1.77.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Grizzlies Points Over 117.5 – 1.90.
As you can see, neither of their opponents is prepared to lose. There was a point in the series where a defeat could deny them a chance to advance to the next round of the playoffs. The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to show character in every game, but the club is slightly inferior in terms of class.
Their next game will be at Memphis’ home arena, so the players are well aware of the responsibility. There can be no doubt that the Grizzlies will try to seize the initiative right away and play number one, so we expect a win for the home team.
Both opponents play an open game and focus on attack, so expect a spectacular encounter in the fifth match of the series.
The Grizzlies have scored more than 116.5 points in three of their last five games.

The Grizzlies could be called a hidden championship contender, as the team has turned into a real leader this season. Taylor Jenkins’ side finished second in the Western Conference and took on the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs.
The Memphis Grizzlies started the series with a loss, but that poor showing was a cold shower for Ja Morant and company. After that, the team picked up the pace and even took the lead. In the previous meeting, the Grizzlies had a good opportunity to pull away, but the Timberwolves had the last word (118-119).
In the fourth game of the series, Desmond Bane scored 34 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Timberwolves are trying to make the most of the play-offs and they are understandable because they haven’t been among the strongest in recent times. The team fights to the last.
The Minnesota Timberwolves showed their class in the first meeting when they relied on their offence, something the Grizzlies were not ready for (130-117). The win added confidence, but the club could not take advantage, so they failed in the next two games. In the fourth game, the Timberwolves had to show character and it helped tie the series (119-118).
In the fourth game of the series, Karl-Anthony Towns scored 33 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists.
