Expert picks & predictions for Thursday’s Grizzlies vs. Heat game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Grizzlies to cover versus the Heat:
“Miami has won six-straight games, including last night’s 124-103 win in Boston. The Heat are riding high, but this is a tough spot beating Boston on the road then flying back to Miami to face a Grizzlies team with a slight rest advantage and coming off four straight losses. This is a spot where I like the Grizzlies to cover.”
