Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Miami Heat NBA Pick Prediction 5/7/2021 by Tony T.
Timberwolves at Heat—Free pick is Minnesota Timberwolves +6. Minnesota has covered five of eight with a push. With the return on DeAngelo Russell to the lineup they have seen an upsurge offensively. Past five games Timberwolves are shooting 47.2% from the floor along with 38.1% from three. Heat are in poor defensive form as in that span of five games allowing 50.4% from the field with 42.3% from three. Jimmy Butler is questionable for the Heat with an illness. Tyler Herro has a foot injury and is listed as questionable. In that eight game period the Timberwolves sit sixth in offensive efficiency with 117.4 points per 100 possessions. Net rating for both teams is identical in this span at 2.8. But with Butler and Herro the edge is on the underdog. Play Minnesota +6.
