Miami Heat Preview
Miami shot 49% from the field in Orlando but came up short in the end, going over four minutes without a basket in the final stretch. Norman Powell led with 28 points, and Bam Adebayo posted 15 points and 12 rebounds. Andrew Wiggins scored 18, while Davion Mitchell added 16 points and 12 assists.
The Heat’s offense looked balanced, but poor decisions on defense allowed Orlando to rally in the fourth quarter. Without Tyler Herro, Miami must find consistent scoring in crunch time. The focus is on improving play late in the fourth quarter and sound play against Memphis’ guards.
Memphis Grizzlies Preview
Memphis opened strong behind Ja Morant’s 35 points in a win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Jaren Jackson added 18 points and six blocks, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 15. Rookie Cedric Coward impressed with 14 points on perfect shooting.

Miami Heat at Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
Memphis has better depth even without a few of its regulars, and Morant looks in midseason form. Miami’s defense should tighten, but the Grizzlies’ energy at home is tough to match. Final Score Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies win and cover ATS 123–115.
