Game 4 left the Lakers on the brink of elimination. The series moves back to Los Angeles with the T-Wolves holding a 3-1 lead, but the Lakers will once again be the 5.5-point betting favorites, the same advantage they had with the bookmakers when they won Game 2 94-85.
The psychological factor, however, plays in Minnesota's favor. The Lakers had a 12-point lead in Game 4, started the third quarter on a 14-0 run, and still lost the game. Doncic recovered from his stomach virus and didn't have a bad game in Game 4, but an erratic last quarter, combined with the T-Wolves' ferocious defense when it mattered most, resulted in a Lakers loss. LeBron James also didn't show up in the fourth quarter and didn't score a single point in that quarter.
As for betting, the two games played at Crypto Arena resulted in a Game Total of UNDER, while the two at Target Center resulted in a Game Total of OVER. Bookmakers predict another fierce defensive game, but the 42 personal fouls in Game 4 could also occur in Game 5, resulting in a Game Total of OVER.
Edwards led the T-Wolves to a victory, scoring 43 points and proving resolute in drawing the foul from LeBron James that sealed Minnesota's victory.
