The Timberwolves look to put the brakes on a 4 game skid when they visit Miami on Tuesday night.
While the Wolves are there offensively and putting up some pretty impressive numbers, they continue to lose games on the defensive end.

As for the Heat, they are on the opposite side of the spectrum as they’ve won 3 straight games and are winning games with their defense.
Minnesota
The Timberwolves are making some noise even with 4 straight losses. Minnesota has built a solid youth core that is performing offensively at a high level thus far.
Minnesota is averaging 103.1 points per game on the season and that number even goes all the way up to 105.8 on the road.

However, the defensive end is where Minnesota needs this core to really grow up. The Timberwolves are allowing 104.5 points and come in off an extremely poor performance against the Grizzlies. Memphis dropped a 114 spot on the Twolves which has pushed the average points allowed during this 4 game losing streak to 113.5 points.
Ironically this season, Minnesota has played much better on the road than at home. In fact, that number is extremely lopsided.
The Twolves are 0-5 SU at home and 4-1 SU on the road. The key to success for them on the road has been their defensive play. They are allowing 99.2 points against in 5 road contests.
Miami
The Timberwolves could take a page out of the Miami Heat book.
Miami is allowing just 90.2 points per game and have not allowed an opponent to reach 100 points over the past 7 games. That number is even more impressive during their 3 game winning streak as they’re allowing 85 points.

The Heat get even better news on Tuesday as G Dwayne Wade is expected to be back on Tuesday. Wade missed Thursday’s game as he was tending to his sick son, but will be in the starting lineup here on Tuesday.
With Wade battling that and injuries this season, F Chris Bosh has really flourished as a leader for this Heat team. Bosh is averaging 24.8 points over the past 4 games and continues to be the points leader for Miami.
Miami enters Tuesday 5-1 SU at home and 4-2 ATS in those 6 contests.
