The FedExForum will light up on Saturday night when the Memphis Grizzlies host the Miami Heat in the NBA. The Grizz (42-25) are fourth in the Western Conference, while the Heat (29-37) are ninth in the East. Let’s get into the match prediction.

The Memphis Grizzlies will be looking to return to the win column here after seeing their four-match win streak brought to an end with a 133-124 loss to the Cavaliers last night. 

While Ja Morant posted 44 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists, Memphis shipped 75 points in the first quarter to trail by 25, and they were unable to make up the gap in the second half. 

The Grizz are the second-highest-scoring team in the NBA this season (122.7 PPG), but they allow 117.0 PPG (25th overall).

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have gone ice cold and were handed their sixth consecutive defeat last night when they were beaten 103-91 by the Boston Celtics at home. 

Andrew Wiggins was the only player to score above 20 points, while as a team, Miami shot 45% from the field and made 13 of 34 attempts from beyond the arc. 

The Heat are the sixth-lowest-scoring team in the league this season (109.6 PPG), but they have remained competitive thanks to their top 10 defence that allows just 110.5 PPG.
