Miami Heat vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

Another massive line for a preseason game. I can understand it considering the Heat played their key players in back to back games on a back to back. Don’t expect to see the Heat to play meaningful players this time around. Still, as I’ve said countless times, the Heat are one of those teams that coaches to win regardless of who is on the floor, and you get max effort from those who do play. Should be a fun one considering it’s a rematch of the summer league championship, which the Heat won as underdogs. Give me the points.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Miami Heat +8.5
