Total: 223.50 | -115.00 Over
Result: Loss
ASA play on OVER 223.5 Memphis Grizzlies at Miami Heat, 7:30pm ET - Grizzlies new Interim coach Lisalo Tuomas has never been an NBA head coach, but has extensive European experience. His philosophy is to play fast. In two of the Grizzlies last four games they produced 261 combined total points with the Lakers and 259 versus the Warriors. They attempted 95, 92 and 92 field goals in their last three games, well above league average. Memphis is already the fastest paced team in the league at 103.85 with the 6th most efficient offense in the league at 1.182-points per possession. The Grizz average 55.6 points in the paint this season, 2nd most in the NBA and Miami's interior defense can be exploited. The best way to attack a solid Memphis defense is from beyond the arc. Memphis allows opponents to make 36.3% of their 3’s (16th) and give up the 25th most attempts and makes from Downtown. That will be a problem tonight against a Heat team that has caught fire from beyond the arc with a 44.2% shooting percentage (best in the league) in their last four games. Miami has the best overall offensive net rating in this current 4-game stretch at 126.7. Memphis has the 25th rated defensive net rating in their last four games so the Heat are going to score here too. This is a bargain number and we bet the value and OVER!
