πŸ“Matchup Preview

Miami Heat visit Minnesota Timberwolves for a regular-season matchup.

Minnesota Timberwolves's availability report lists Donte DiVincenzo (Out). These designations describe availability, not a confirmed starting five.

Star availability shifts the assessment toward Miami Heat. The availability adjustment estimates the additional impact of expected missed minutes beyond the absences already reflected in the team baseline.

SportsFBI gives Miami Heat a 54% estimated win probability. That is a modest lean, leaving substantial room for the other result. This estimate is based on team and situational inputs, rather than a two-sided sportsbook moneyline.

Projected score: MIA 116, MIN 115
Model probability of a margin of 20 or more points: 11%
