Miami covered its opener, losing a close one at Orlando, winning the rebounding battle, nailing 12 treys, and shooting over 48%. The offense is upgraded with newcomer Norman Powell, who had 28 points in the opener, while Erik Spoelstra is a fine coach, one who knows how to teach defense. Miami is on a 14-7 ATS run, including 5-2 ATS on the road. Memphis still prefers to run under coach Tuomas Iisalo, who gets the full-time nod after being an interim late last season. They nudged New Orleans in the opener, 128-122, despite 17 turnovers. Memphis is on an 11-25-1 spread run, including 6-12 ATS at home. Play Miami.
