Zach: 历史上总有球队能从0-3落后逆转，但考虑到独行侠队的实力和东契奇的出色发挥，森林狼队完成逆转的可能性很小。拥有主场优势对逆转至关重要。 Chris Herring: 关键球员的伤病可能是球队从0-3落后逆转的关键因素，虽然森林狼队在最后一场比赛中做出了一些战术调整，但这是否足以让东契奇和欧文发挥失常仍有待观察。如果真的发生逆转，将会在推特上引发爆炸性的讨论。 Chris Herring: 森林狼队是一支实力强劲的球队，他们刚刚淘汰了卫冕冠军。本系列赛的比赛非常胶着，胜负取决于关键时刻的几次关键发挥。东契奇在季后赛中的表现以及他可能渴望休息等因素都会影响比赛结果。安东尼-爱德华兹对东契奇的防守是本系列赛的关键。 Zach: 本系列赛的胜负取决于几次关键的发挥，而不是整体的进攻效率。卢卡可能会后悔在比赛中的一些失误，例如被戈贝尔两次进攻犯规。戈贝尔在最后一场比赛中表现出色，贡献了一些关键的传球和得分。森林狼在本系列赛中更多地使用了凯尔-安德森，并采用了更大的阵容。东契奇的出色能力使得森林狼不得不放弃一些基本的防守原则，东契奇擅长利用假动作和眼神控制对手，创造得分机会。如果森林狼赢下第五场，独行侠将面临巨大的压力。
