Minnesota Timberwolves vs Miami Heat Prediction
The Miami Heat continue to look like a stale roster that’s going through the motions, and it’s hard to take them seriously against good teams. The Minnesota Timberwolves are putting together a strong week, and they’ve won 8 of the last 10 games against the Heat. The Timberwolves have played Jimmy Butler’s teams hard since the mess that happened when he played for Minnesota. Jimmy Butler is out with an ankle injury, but we know the Timberwolves will still want to stick it to his team anyway. Two teams heading in different directions. I’ll lay the points with the Timberwolves.
