The Miami Heat takes on the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Sunday evening.

The Heat (2-0) have been one of the biggest surprises of the young season, notching a pair of victories without the services of prized offseason acquisition Jimmy Butler (personal). Their most recent win was particularly impressive, as Miami managed to knock off the Milwaukee Bucks on the road by a 131-126 score in overtime on Saturday afternoon. Goran Dragic scored a team-high 25 points and added eight assists, six rebounds and one steal. Bam Adebayo followed with a 19-point, 13-rebound, eight-assist double-double that also included one block. Kendrick Nunn poured in 18 points and added five assists, four rebounds and two steals. Tyler Herro, Derrick Jones, Jr. and Kelly Olynyk all contributed 14 points apiece. Justise Winslow pitched in a 10-point, 13-rebound, seven-assist effort.

The Heat will continue to be without Butler, Dion Waiters (coach's decision) and James Johnson (conditioning) on Sunday. Meanwhile, Jones (groin) will carry a doubtful designation.

The Timberwolves (2-0) have been impressive to open the season in their own right, notching a wild one-point overtime win against the Nets in their opener and then dominating the Charlotte Hornets by a 121-99 margin on Friday night. In that contest, Karl-Anthony Towns led the way with 37 points, adding 15 rebounds, eight assists, four steals and two blocks. Andrew Wiggins poured in 16 points and also supplied four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. Josh Okogie delivered 14 points four rebounds, three assists and one steal off the bench, while Treveon Graham and Jake Layman had matching 12-point tallies.

The Timberwolves will come into Sunday's game without any injuries to report.

Minnesota swept the 2018-19 two-game season series between the clubs.
