This is a 2* play on Minnesota.

We knew that coming off a Game 7 win on the road in Denver could set Minnesota up for a let down in Game 1. Teams coming into the Conference Finals off a Game 7 are now 0-14 in Game 1 of the series. They came out strong in the first half, held the lead into the fourth quarter and collapsed late. I expect the home team to make the necessary adjustments and take care of business in this revenge spot. Luka Doncic may have benefited from a four day break between Game 6 versus the Thunder and Game 1 in Minnesota. His knees and ankle only get 48 hrs to rest between Game 1 and Game 2.
