Heat vs. Timberwolves Injury Report

Who will play for the Miami Heat tonight? Will they be able to field a team? Ok, that is a bit of hyperbole, but not too far-fetched given their lengthy injury report.

Jimmy Butler headlines the list of Miami Heat stars that will be missing in action tonight. Tyler Herro will also be out of action tonight, removing the Heat's primary shooter from the outside. Victor Oladipo, Udonis Haslem, Duncan Robinson, and Omer Yurtseven will be out for this one.

That's not all--Bam Adebayo, Dewayne Dedmon, and Gabe Vincent are all questionable. If Bam Adebayo cannot go, the Heat will be without their best interior defender, rebounder, shooter, and overall player. No big deal.

The Timberwolves find themselves on the opposite end of the injury spectrum, as they don't have an injury of note.

Heat vs. Timberwolves Betting Prediction

The Miami Heat are the walking wounded heading into this one. It has been quite some time since I have seen an injury report that looks like the M*A*S*H unit that the Miami Heat has announced. The Miami Heat won't resemble the team we saw in the playoffs year after year. The Heat are currently sitting at 7-10, and they feel like they may be in the midst of what could be a lost season. The Timberwolves may be in the middle of putting together something special. The Timberwolves have a strong presence on the interior and the perimeter. They also have a daunting defense that gives the opposition fits. I don't give this many points to any team in the NBA, but it's unlikely the Miami Heat can keep pace with the Timberwolves in this one.

Prediction: Timberwolves -9 (-110) (O/U 220.5, -110)
