Miami Heat vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction: Problems Play a Role

Prediction for the NBA Miami Heat vs Memphis Grizzlies match which will take place on March 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.  

The Heat in the trade deadline strengthened the most experienced Kevin Love lineup. And this is a more crucial point. So Erik Spoelstra's team continues to alternate victories and failures. For example, in the previous game, the Heat won against Utah (119:115). But before that, they could not beat the team from the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, Orlando – 114:126 (108:108). At the moment, Miami is seventh in the East, and, given the extreme instability of the results, it is far from a fact that it will avoid the play-in round by getting into the playoffs directly.

The Grizzlies perform without Ja Morant. But the absence of a leader does not prevent Taylor Jenkins' team from winning. Memphis will play the match with Miami with three consecutive victories – over Golden State (131:110) and twice over Dallas (112:108 and 104:88). In general, Memphis played confidently without Morant when he was injured in the last season. So this situation shows that Morant needs the Grizzlies more than they need him. It will not be a surprise if the Grizzlies, which are currently second in the Western Conference, consistently collect victories in the future.

Memphis has been playing poorly away lately. However, it won three victories on the eve of the trip to Miami. The form of the Heat is doubtful – Erik Spoelstra's team seems to be successfully performing at home, but even when it wins, it does it as insecure as possible. We believe that the match will not be very productive – the problems of the Heat in attack and the absence of Ja Morant from Memphis will play a role.
