MIAMI injury report:
WADE- OUT (calf)
CHALMERS- OUT (thumb)
ALSTON- OUT (hand)
D WADE is obviously a loss for the HEAT but consider CHALMERS and ALSTON-- we're talking two guys that average 25+ min per game. Not saying they are big time play makers, but thats another two guys this rookie coach is playing without.
MIA is avg 96 ppg
MINN is avg 97 ppg
At home MIA D is holding teams to 92ppg
On the road MINN D is holding teams to 111ppg
HEAT have the better defense, here.
The TWOLVES are completely healthy and just starting the first leg of a road series having been at home lately.
MINN have had a horrible record S/U on the road with only 4 road wins, but they are 29-28 ATS overall and 12-16 ATS away. They are installed with a whopping +310ML and the spread has been pushed from 7 to the current 8. The board is all over the HEAT, which is more of a reason to hit MINNY in this spot.
MINN +10 (-150)
MINN +310
These teams haven't met since FEB 2009 in MIA, where MINN won 111-104.
