Miami Heat vs Memphis Grizzlies NBA Preview
Grizzlies -2.5
Even with how banged up the Grizzlies are right now, I project this line at Memphis -3.7.
They were able to piece together a big enough lineup to hold up against the Pelicans.
Kel’El Ware could have a big game, but Miami doesn’t scare you with size either.
Anything above one possession would concern me, but I don’t feel like this is a letdown spot for Memphis, and the Heat — who I am high on — may start the season 0-2 with two tough losses.
Davion Mitchell Over 17.5 Points + Assists
Davion Mitchell rattled off 10 assists in the opener against a very good Magic' defense, and Memphis is not as good as Orlando.
He’s consistent in his approach, and that was enough to convince me.
Mitchell has gone over 17.5 points and assists in 14 of his last 18.
