Memphis vs Miami Pick
- Memphis vs Miami Spread Pick
Despite being extremely short-handed, Miami is the better team in this matchup. The Heat will be without several players, but still will have the talent and depth on the floor to overwhelm a bad Memphis team on Saturday. Look for Miami to end its recent skid Saturday night as they do the job to get the win. Take the Miami Heat to get the win and cover Saturday night at home to pick up their 30th victory of the season.
- Memphis vs Miami Over/Under Pick
Neither team has a particularly potent offense, and that will hold true in this matchup. Both teams have seen several high-scoring games over the last few outings, but with several players potentially out in this game, offense will be at a premium. Look for both teams to battle it out on defense as they desperately hunt for a victory. Take the Miami Heat Saturday night to get the win and cover at home as the number goes under the total.
