Memphis have the lead in the series, but situation is far from perfect. Opponents will fight until the bitter end and will do everything to lead the series into the seventh match, so Taylor Jenkins' men should be ready for that.
Minnesota deserved a praise already, because team put up a respectable performance against a clear favorite. We fancy Wolves to record a victory at home.
Our prediction - Minnesota Timberwolves to win the match (Including OT)
Timberwolves are unlikely to play defensively in such an important match. Grizzlies will close down this series in case of a victory, so they will try to play aggressively as well, so we are expecting a high-scoring match.
Our second bet is on total over 224.5 points
