It looks like Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo will play for Miami after both were listed as questionable. But Miami will still be without Tyler Herro and Meyers Leonard, who average nearly 20 combined points. As disastrous as things have been for the Timberwolves, they still improved with the draft-deadline deal that sent Andrew Wiggins to Golden State. Malik Beasley and James Johnson have played well for Minnesota, and both are Heat alums who will be motivated to play well against their former team. This is a potential flat for Miami ahead of its Friday meeting with Dallas.

If Jimmy Butler (personal) returns, this big number seems reasonable. The Timberwolves have lost five straight, four of which came by at least 10 points. They have also struggled on the road lately, losing their last three by at least 11 points. With how deadly the Heat have been at home this season, I’ll take them to cover, even with the uncertain status of Butler.

This is a big number, but the Heat are a different team at home. The Timberwolves have lost five in a row, four by double digits and the other by seven points to the lowly Hornets. Back Miami to improve to 20-7-1 ATS in its last 28 home games.
