Saturday 12 March: NBA schedule
Timberwolves welcomed to Miami
The Minnesota Timberwolves, who had their longest win streak since 2003-2004 snapped on Friday, are set to visit the surging Miami Heat on Saturday night. Minnesota, which had been the hottest team in the Western Conference with six straight wins, lost to the host Orlando Magic, 118-110, on Friday. Miami also played on Friday, defeating the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers, 117-105. The Heat have the best record in the Eastern Conference.
The Timberwolves have been getting healthier this week. Star starting shooting guard Anthony Edwards returned on Wednesday after missing four games due to a knee injury. He scored a game-high 25 points on Friday.

In addition, two more starters -- point guard Patrick Beverley and forward Jarred Vanderbilt -- returned on Friday after one-game absences. Beverley, a defensive menace, had an ankle injury. Vanderbilt had a quad injury. However, backup Wolves point guard Jordan McLaughlin missed Friday's game due to a groin injury.
Minnesota is led by 6-11, 250-pound center Karl-Anthony Towns. He tops the Wolves in points (24.5) and rebounds (9.7). He had 21 points and 13 rebounds on Friday.
Another Wolves player to watch is Malik Beasley, who set a franchise single-game record with 11 3-pointers in Wednesday's 132-102 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Beasley, a former Florida State star, also broke Kevin Love's previous record of 190 3-pointers in a season.
