Randy’s Pick

The Grizzlies have been solid in preseason action, and their defense has been one of the better units through 3 games. However, the Heat in the underdog role at home with their competitive fire is hard to turn down. We know the Heat compete regardless if the game counts or not. Also, the Heat sat nearly their entire rotation against the Spurs, so I’d assume some guys are going to get some run in this game. Should be a fun contest, but I’ll grab the free bucket with the Heat.
