The Grizzlies are 12-12 on the road this season. Memphis is 5-5 in its last 10 games. The Heat won 108-102 in the first meeting on Nov. 9. Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 30 points, and Jaren Jackson Jr. scored a team-high 28 points for the Grizzlies.
Memphis is 5-16 when it wins the turnover battle and is currently averaging 13.8 turnovers per game. Jackson Jr. is averaging 21.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks for the Grizzlies.
In their past 10 games, Memphis has averaged 111.5 points, 43.1 rebounds, 27.5 assists, 8.7 steals, and 5.6 blocks per contest while shooting 44.5% from the field.
Additionally, Miami has lost its last three games. The Heat are 12-8 at home this season and 7-8 in games decided by 10 or more points. Jimmy Butler is averaging 21.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals with the club.
Similar to Memphis, the Heat are also 5-5 in their previous 10 contests. During this stretch, Miami has averaged 103.8 points, 42.2 rebounds, 25 assists, 7.1 steals, and 3.2 blocks while shooting 44.2% from the floor.
Per ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, the Heat hold a 68.3% chance of defeating Memphis. Terry Rozier was recently acquired in a trade with the Charlotte Hornets. His status is questionable for this matchup, but he is expected to play. Even without Rozier, Miami should still beat the Grizzlies.
