Memphis Grizzlies vs. Miami Heat News and Notes

The surging Miami Heat are back on an upswing and will look for their fifth straight win when they welcome the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. Miami took their fourth in a row when they handled the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. The Heat deployed about as balanced an attack as possible with seven players reaching double-digits but no one reaching 20. Bam Adebayo and Duncan Robinson led the way with 18 points apiece, while Bam added a game-high 11 boards. Trevor Ariza and Jimmy Butler each had 15, with Butler adding a game-high 11 assists and three players off the bench scored ten or more. Thanks to their streak and two of those wins coming against Eastern Conference opponents in the mix, Miami is sniffing around the fourth playoff seed. 

Memphis will once again try and be Miami streak busters. The last time these teams met, the Grizzlies halted a five-game win streak for the Heat on St. Patrick’s Day. Memphis certainly had the luck of the Irish that night as Ja Morant hit a game-winning layup with 1.2 seconds left on the clock. The loss sent Miami spiraling into a season-worst six-game losing streak. Memphis went on to win three of their next four after downing the Heat in mid-March. The Grizzlies are on a mini two-game streak of their own and have won three of four games. They are coming off an impressive victory over the Sixers in Philadelphia on Sunday. 

Like Miami’s most recent win, the Grizz put out a balanced attack. Memphis had seven players score in double-digits and got a fantastic performance from their bench. Dillon Brooks scored a game-high 17 while Jonas Valanciunas had a double-double with 16 points and a team-high 12 boards. Ja Morant only scored eight but had a game-high ten assists. Memphis also had three players score 14 or more off the bench in the convincing 116-100 road win. Brandon Clarke was one of those players putting up 15 but is questionable for Tuesday with a calf issue.

Both Miami and the Grizzlies have covered in their past four while the Heat has covered four-straight as a favorite and Memphis five in a row following a win. The Heat have gone over in four of five as a favorite, while Memphis has gone under in three straight following five straight overs. The over has been the play in their past six head-to-head meetings in Miami and five of six overall, while the Heat has covered in five of seven against the Grizz.
