Free Betting Pick: Memphis Grizzlies +7.5
The Miami Heat will be playing without Dion Waiters and potentially James Johnson which is a big blow to this team considering the fact that they moved on from Whiteside and Richardson. The Memphis Grizzlies added one of the most dynamic players in the NBA Draft this past offseason in Ja Morant, and he should be able to have success in year 1. Morant will join another young star in Jaren Jackson Jr. as well as have a solid supporting cast with the upgrades the Grizzlies made this offseason. The Miami Heat will have the best player on the court in Jimmy Butler which will help push them to a win at home, but Memphis will make this one close in a defensive slugfest. Final Score Prediction, Miami Heat win but fail to cover ATS 108-104.
