The Miami Heat are on the end of a back to back, but they've covered seven straight in that spot, so I'm not worried about it. The Minnesota Timberwolves are enjoying a hot week where they've won four straight games and are winning their last five games by an average of 17.8 points. However, I still don't trust the Timberwolves against quality teams. This is also a bit of a revenge spot for Butler, as he had a nasty breakup with Minnesota and still has some bad blood with some former teammates. Give me the Heat.
