Memphis vs Miami Pick

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.
