The Heat are coming into this game with a 14-10 record overall and they are 6-3 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of another loss in their last game. Their 1 win in that span came against the Indiana Pacers while their 3 losses were against the Denver Nuggets, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Milwaukee Bucks in their last game.

The Heat have an ATS record of 14-10 this season and their O/U record is 15-9.

 

 

The Heat are coming into this game as a 4.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Heat have been missing their star Jimmy Butler in their last 4 games and have only been able to win 1 game without him in the lineup. The Grizzlies have been playing very well with 4 straight wins but they are still missing their best player Ja Morant and a loss like that is going to catch up to them eventually. Butler should be returning for this game and the Heat have been pretty good at home this season so they will be looking to snap their losing streak with Butler back and get a nice win here. The best bet to place in this game is on the Heat to cover the spread here.

"I think we've been getting off to good starts. We've been playing well on the defensive side, and that's been allowing us to get out and run. That's our best offense. The more we can get stops and get out in transition, the more I like our chances." - Desmond Bane on his team’s win against the Mavericks on Saturday night.
