After making drastic changes to their roster in the off-season, Miami Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves will look to kick-off their NBA 2026-27 campaign on a high. Both teams are aiming to stay in playoff contention as they start their campaign on Wednesday night at the Kaseya Center in Miami. Our match prediction goes against the recent head-to-head trend and backs Miami Heat to win.
The Heat finished 10th in the Eastern Conference last season with a 43-39 record and qualified for the play-in tournament. However, they were beaten by Charlotte in the first round and exited. The Timberwolves finished sixth in the Western Conference (49-33) to qualify for the playoffs, where they defeated Denver 4-2 but lost 4-2 to San Antonio in the Conference semi-finals.
The Heat ended their pre-season with two losses in their last three games (W1), but overall, they had four wins from their last six matches. Miami will also take comfort from the fact that they ended last season with consecutive wins – although coming only after they were out of the playoff race.
The Wolves lost their latest two games in the pre-season and have also lost four of their last five matches in the NBA, all coming in the playoffs. That said, they had three wins out of four in the regular season, something they want to replicate here.

Our Miami Heat vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The addition of Klay Thompson, Tim Hardaway Jr and Giannis Antetokounmpo makes Miami a strong force this season. Those make the Heat one of the teams to watch out for this year. The Wolves have also made changes to their roster and also boast a strong recent record against the Miami Heat.
The Timberwolves have won six of their last seven matches against the Heat, including four in a row, but that streak could be broken here. Our Miami Heat vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction is the Miami Heat wins.
