Today’s Game of the Day
- Miami Heat at Minnesota Timberwolves – 8 PM, NBC, NBA League Pass
Let’s switch it up and focus on a new pair of teams that we haven’t talked much about this season.
The Timberwolves are 23-13, sixth in the Western Conference. They’ve won six of their last 10 games and are looking for their third straight against the Heat.
Miami has cooled off after its hot start to the season. They are 20-16, a small turn from their 14-7 start. Still, the Heat are too well-coached and have enough talent to overlook. They are a team that can give you a hard time on any given night in the regular season.
