Memphis Grizzlies vs Miami Heat Prediction
The Heat got Herro back and looked great last night against the Hawks. The Grizzlies are severely undermanned and on the end of a back-to-back as well. At home the Heat should be big favorites. However, the Heat have a long habit of playing down to their competition. The Heat has also run hot and cold all season. I’m not being suckered in with this team. One minute the Heat are scoring 140 points, the next they’re struggling to crack 90. Nothing surprises me with this group. Give me the Grizzlies and the points.
