Good afternoon, sports fans.

The Dallas Mavericks have a chance to close out the Western Conference finals on the road tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who finally got into the win column in Game 4 courtesy of an efficient 25-point outing from Karl-Anthony Towns. Minnesota has had some underwhelming performances at home in these playoffs as the team is just 3-4 at the Target Center. Consider this a sneak preview for the type of expert analysis and insight you will receive as a SportsLine subscriber.

JAYLEN WADDLE SIGNS CONTRACT EXTENSION WITH DOLPHINS

The NFL offseason has been a busy one, especially when it comes to the wide receiver position. That continued to be the case Thursday as Jaylen Waddle signed a three-year, $84.75 million contract extension

with the Miami Dolphins, according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones. The deal includes $76 million of guaranteed money and will make Waddle the fourth-highest paid wideout in the NFL. Waddle is coming off of a season in which he caught 72 passes for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. CBS Sports NFL writer Jordan Dajani has more on what the wide receiver market looks like following an eventful offseason.

Dajani:"The wide receivers market has been completely reset this offseason. Miami made Hill the highest-paid receiver in 2022 after acquiring him from the Kansas City Chiefs, but he was recently passed by Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions after the star agreed to a four-year deal reportedly worth more than $120 million, while A.J. Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a three-year extension worth $96 million. Both of those new AAVs of $30.002 million and $32 million surpassed Hill's $30 million-per-year benchmark."

The Hot Ticket

Game 5: Mavericks at Timberwolves, 8:30 p.m. | TV: TNT

The Pick: Timberwolves -4.5 (-111)

Key trend: The Timberwolves are 3-0 this postseason when facing elimination.

SportsLine expert Bruce Marshall is 10-5 in his last 15 ATS picks involving the Mavericks.

Marshall:

"Some pundits are saying that it's not a series yet, but we say it is. Perhaps some of the Timberwolves doubters hadn't been watching how closely this series was being contested before Minnesota finally broke through in Game 4. Remember, the Timberwolves were in position to win the first three games of the series, but finally got Karl-Anthony Towns to turn in a highly-productive with 25 points in Game 3. In addition, Dallas also has to sweat out the status of key cog Dereck Lively II (strained neck), who sat out Game 4. The Timberwolves are not going away as they're now 3-0 in elimination games over the past two weeks."
