I can't remember the last time looking at an injury report and a key Heat player wasn't on there -- but that's the case for this one. Miami enters on a four-game winning streak. Memphis, meanwhile, will be without two reserves for sure in De'Anthony Melton (seventh in the NBA in 3-point shooting at 45.3%) and Justise Winslow and possibly Brandon Clarke (11.7 ppg, 5.5 rpg), too, as he's questionable. It's also the front end of a back-to-back for the Grizzlies. They are 3-5 in those this season.
My model says the Grizzlies cover in over 60 percent of the simulations, giving you strong value at this number. Memphis has won its last two road games and began its four-game trip with a 16-point victory at Philadelphia on Sunday. The Grizzlies have played better on the road this season, going 12-9 as opposed to 12-14 at home. Miami has won four straight but preceded the run with a six-game losing streak that began with a four-point setback at Memphis. Look for the Grizzlies to put up another solid performance in Tuesday's rematch.
