Historically, this head-to-head matchup has been extremely close, as 4 of their last 5 regular-season meetings have been decided by 8 points or less. The Heat held the Detroit Pistons to just 102 points in their opener and finished last season 9th in defensive rating. The Boston Celtics squeaked by with a 108-104 win in their season opener against the New York Knicks, but Miami is a much better defensive team than New York. In what I expect to be a competitive, low-scoring affair, getting 8.5 points with the Heat seems like a generous proposition. Read our full Denver Nuggets vs Memphis Grizzlies predictions Miami Heat +8.5 over Boston Celtics (-108) I think it’ll take some time for this team to find their rhythm and that won’t come tonight against the champs. Memphis needs way more from their bench, as Bane, Smart and Xavier Tillman scored 65 of their team’s 104 points in their debut. Desmond Bane is the main scoring threat for Memphis until Morant returns, but it won’t be enough against a well-balanced Denver team. Marcus Smart filled in at the point and contributed 17 points and 3 assists, but he is unlikely to produce at the same level as Morant on the offensive front. Memphis dropped their season debut to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, and I think they’ll drop to 0-2 after hosting the Nuggets tonight. They’ll head to Memphis tonight to take on a shorthanded Grizzlies squad that’s without Ja Morant as he serves his 25-game suspension and Steven Adams, who’ll undergo season-ending knee surgery. All five Denver starters finished the game in double figures and Nikola Jokic finished with 29 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists. The defending champs showed no signs of rust in their season debut after defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 119-107 on Tuesday night. Also, be sure to check out our NBA predictions for every game.
