Heat vs. Grizzlies Betting Prediction
The Grizzlies are the stronger side in this contest, for obvious reasons. They have been much better than the Heat as shown by their league positions. The Heat have been quite mediocre, although their recent form has been solid.
The Grizzlies are a fantastic offense and should be able to edge the affair against the underperforming Heat offense.
Grizzlies: -1.5 (-107)
