Randy’s Pick

The Minnesota Timberwolves have the clear rest advantage as they haven't played since Wednesday and the Heat are on the end of a back to back and have to travel from Boston. The Heat are also banged up with Caleb Martin, Josh Richardson and Haywood Highsmith either out or questionable. With that said, the Heat is still the better team on paper, and getting free points with them is hard to turn down. The Minnesota Timberwolves also have issues finishing games, as we saw in their opening contest. Also, there's the Jimmy Butler factor and his history in Minnesota. We know he's going to want to leave with a victory. Give me the points with the road team.

Randy’s Pick Miami Heat +4.5
