Before the Western Conference Finals between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks started, Minnesota was the small favorite to win the series at -170. Now that Dallas has won the first two games on the road, those odds have shifted drastically.

The Mavericks are now -600 favorites on FanDuel after opening the series at +138, with Minnesota now listed at +450. Dallas has better odds to sweep the Timberwolves, +135, than they did to win the series just four days ago. The two "correct score" bets for the Timberwolves to win are +1600 for them to win in six games and +600 to win in seven.

Luka Doncic has also taken over to win Conference Finals MVP at -390, followed by Minnesota's Anthony Edwards at +500, who hasn't played well this series, and Dallas' Kyrie Irving at +800. Doncic is currently averaging 32.5 PPG, 10.5 APG, and 8.5 RPG through two games this series, and hit the game-winner in Game 2, to give the Mavs a 2-0 series lead.

Dallas is currently favored by -2.5 heading into Sunday night's game. Teams that take a 2-0 series lead in the conference finals are 58-6 all-time for the series and no one has ever lost up 3-0, so the Mavericks are hoping to close this series out in Dallas over the next few days. They're on the brink of a trip to the NBA Finals and have a roster capable of winning it all.
