The Miami Heat have won five in a row overall and four in a row since the All-Star break. The Grizzlies are going in the opposite direction having lost three in a row. This will be the first meeting between these two teams this season.

The Heat have battling injuries all season long and tonight will be no different with Bam Adebayo possibly being out again tonight due to injury and Myers Leonard out for a suspension. Throw in Avery Bradley being out and Tyler Herro being questionable just shows how good the Heat are playing at the moment. Jimmy Butler keeps doing Jimmy Butler things, putting up 21.4 points a game to lead the heat.

The Memphis Grizzlies have struggled as of late having lost 4 of their last 6 and will be without Jaren Jackson Jr. Ja Morant missed eight weeks in the first half of the season. Memphis is two games behind Dallas for the 8th seed, with the Warriors between the two. Ja Morant leads the team with 19.6 points and he dishes out 7.6 assists. Jonas Valanciunas adds 16.2 points and 11.9 rebounds. d skew towards the Grizzlies inside to dominate the boards and generate second-chance opportunities.

Miami has the best player on the court with Butler, who is playing at an MVP level. he should be able to dominate the Grizzlies from the perimeter or in the paint. The Heat plays a strong team defense and will only be stronger if bam is able to go. If Bam plays then the Heat may have the best two players on the court. Miami is on a nice run and I look for them to continue it tonight.

Play on Miami on the Money Line.
