00:00Dallas has a 3-0 series lead. Dallas at home, a two-point favorite for game number four. The

00:09total is up by three and a half points from where it was in game three to this fourth game. The

00:15highest over-under of this series stands at 2-11. Donnie, make it very simple for myself and all the

00:22viewers here of the Early Line on Sports Grid. Is the Western Conference Finals over tonight or will

00:28there be a fifth game in the Twin Cities? I believe it's over tonight. I honestly do. But take a look

00:34from a betting perspective. You just take a look, Ben, and see what that line is. It's only minus

00:38two. It's not minus 12 and a half, minus 22 and a half, and it's just a formality. We're expecting a

00:42good basketball game, much like we got over the first three games. But the question is, what are

00:47we getting out of the Timberwolves superstars themselves matched up against the Dallas Mavericks

00:50superstars? And we can always go back to that, you know, fade the public poll where it's like, who do

00:55you trust more? And I did pick the Dallas side just because of one of those guys had a ring and the other

01:00ones didn't. And my goodness, both of the superstars for Dallas outplaying both of the superstars for

01:04the Timberwolves left and right over the first three games. But if we look at the FanDuel Sportsbook, and I

01:09say this again, because that Sunday number of minus one and a half sold me a lot. And that really feels

01:14like a Timberwolves line. So if I was betting that game, which I didn't bet it straight, I would have

01:17bet the Timberwolves and lost. I look at this again, a plus two here. That is a stone cold Timberwolves

01:22line once again, they haven't won a game yet. And yet they're within a one possession, you know, spread as

01:27what we're pointing out. And if we're looking at the statistics here, from the betting numbers at the

01:31FanDuel Sportsbook, 65% of the current bets against the spread coming in on the Dallas Mavericks, and

01:37rightfully so. They are a public favorite based on what you saw the first three games, they should be at

01:41this point. But for my money, I think the series ends tonight. And boy, would I love to be wrong here, Ben.
