Miami vs Minnesota on 11/21 by blackwiseguy

The Miami Heat takes on the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Monday night. The Heat (7-10) have had significant trouble garnering any sort of consistency thus far this season, and they'll enter Monday's contest having lost three consecutive games. Their most recent loss came Sunday night when their short-handed squad was thumped by the Cleveland Cavaliers, 113-87. Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 21 points, adding six rebounds, three assists, and one block. Caleb Martin furnished 17 points, three boards, and one assist. Dewayne Dedmon managed 10 points, five rebounds, one steal, and one block. Kyle Lowry turned in nine points, four boards, three assists, and one block. The Heat will continue with Jimmy Butler (knee), Victor Oladipo (knee), and Omer Yurtseven (knee) for Monday's game. Tyler Herro (ankle), Duncan Robinson (ankle), Gabe Vincent, and Udonis Haslem (personal) are likely to be listed as questionable at best. The Timberwolves (8-8) have also had their share of ups and downs to start the season, but they'll check into Monday night's game with a bit of momentum courtesy of a three-game winning streak. Their most recent success came Saturday night when they edged the Philadelphia 76ers by a 112-109 score. Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 25 points, adding five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block. D'Angelo Russell supplied 19 points, seven assists, two rebounds, and one steal. Jaylen Nowell turned in 13 points, two rebounds, and two assists. Karl-Anthony Towns compiled 12 points, eight boards, three assists, and one steal. Jaden McDaniels registered 11 points, one rebound, one assist, three steals, and one block. The Timberwolves will come into Monday's game without any injuries to report. Monday's game marks the first of two meetings between the teams this season. The Timberwolves swept the two-game 2021-22 regular-season series from the Heat.
