Heat at Timberwolves Best Bets and Props

Jaden McDaniels 2+ Made Threes (+138)

The Heat give up a lot of three-point tries, so I'm intrigued by Jaden McDaniels' +138 odds to make multiple treys.

For the season, Miami is letting up the seventh-highest three-point attempt rate (43.6%). Small forwards have torched them from three as the Heat are giving up 3.3 made triples per night to the position, the most in the NBA.

McDaniels isn't a high-volume guy from three, taking only 3.2 shots per game from beyond the arc. But he's hitting a career-best 41.8% from downtown, and the matchup should help him in the volume department.

Plus, Miami (first in pace) is a big pace-up matchup for the T-Wolves (17th), which could also lead to a couple more shots for McDaniels.

All in all, given McDaniels' efficiency from three and Miami's tendency to allow plenty of three-point looks, McDaniels to hit at least two shots from deep at +138 is my favorite bet in this game.

Under 237.5 Points (-108)

As mentioned, Miami is playing at the league's fastest pace. Despite that, I think this total is a bit too high.

While they operate at a blistering pace and let up a lot of threes, Miami is 17-19 to over this season.

Minnesota has that same 17-19 over record, and they've been very under-friendly at home.

The Timberwolves hold the fourth-best home defensive rating and just the 18th-best home offensive rating. Minnesota is scoring 115.4 points per night at home, compared to 123.7 points per game on the road. They're also giving up just 110.1 points per game at home, compared to 119.1 per game on the road.

None of Minnesota's last eight home games have totaled more than 130 points, with only two of those eight going over 120 points.

While this figures to be a high-scoring game, especially if Minnesota gets hot from three, 238 points is a high bar to clear for this T-Wolves team when they're in Minnesota.
