In recent years, the NBA playoffs have gone strictly to form, with the top two seeds in either conference being the teams most likely to advance to the Finals. It’s always fun when we get a potential upset, or at least see a series that is pushed further than we might have expected. The Toronto Raptors finished as the #3 seed in the Eastern Conference, but were dealt a tricky opponent in the opening round in the Minnesota Timberwolves. The general consensus was still that the Raptors would get past Minnesota without too much fuss, especially since they had won 7 of their last 8 meetings versus the T-Wolves. The playoffs have a way of changing things entirely, though, and Minnesota were able to steal Game 1, thanks in large part to a dominating defensive display. They fought till the very end in Game 2, and it was only a late Kyle Lowry 3-pointer that eventually swung things in the favor of the Raptors. The series now shifts to Minneapolis, with the Raptors looking to in back home court advantage. Find the latest NBA betting odds here.
