Memphis Grizzlies Form

Memphis head to Miami on a terrible run of form, having lost seven of their last eight games and each of the last four.

The Grizzlies’ slump began on March 17 when they started a five-game road trip with a 132-122 defeat in Sacramento.

They then lost 115-99 in Portland and 128-108 at the LA Clippers, before briefly stopping the rot with a 140-103 success in Utah.

Memphis failed to build on that though, as they wrapped up that road trip with a 125-104 defeat at Oklahoma City.

The Grizzlies then returned home to lose three straight games, falling 134-127 to the Los Angeles Lakers, 117-103 to Boston and 134-125 to Golden State.

Miami Heat Form

Miami go into tonight's matchup having extended their win streak to six games with last night's victory in Boston.

went into Wednesday night’s game in Boston on a good run of form, having won five straight to stay on course for a sport in the Play In tournament.

The Heat lost 10 straight during March, but at least managed to end the month in positive form.

They finally snapped their skid with a 122-105 win at home to Charlotte, and backed that up with another couple of home wins as they beat Golden State 112-86 and Atlanta 122-112.

Miami then went out on the road for a three-game trip, which they kicked off with a 118-95 victory in Philadelphia.

The Heat followed that up with a 120-94 victory in Washington, before moving on to visit Boston to take down the defending champions, 124-103.

Verdict

Miami are the team in better form heading into this one, having just taken down Boston on the road.

So while this is a tough spot for them, playing on back-to-back nights, we are taking them and the free buckets against the out-of-form Grizzlies.
