The hosts, Heat, enter the matchup with a 19-15 record, and a four-game winning streak. They dominate homecourt with a 12-5 record, and are known for playing tough defense.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Minnesota Timberwolves, on the other hand, are entering Saturday&rsquo;s matchup with a 21-13 record. Their previous fixture saw them slump to the Atlanta Hawks, marking their third defeat in the last six games. The Wolves are also known for their defense, and are being led by Anthony Edwards&rsquo; scoring punch.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Odds suggest Minnesota to be a small road favorite around -2.5, moneyline of -142 and total near 239.5. These NBA odds tonight suggest that fans can expect a closely-fought contest, powered by defense of both teams.

Though they are a fast-paced team, the Timberwolves&rsquo; mid-rack pace is likely to balance it out. The Wolves, on the other hand, have the seventh-best defensive rating in the league, and they allow 114.6 points to their rivals.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The projected total at 239.5 seems high for two defense-oriented teams.
