Game Preview
San Antonio took a big L at home against the Memphis Grizzlies, 140-112. Not only that, but Ja’s dunk over Wemby is still circulating on the net, which might affect the young mind of the No.1 shot-blocker in the NBA.
Wemby scored 19 points and had 12 boards in this loss, while Devin Vassell with 21 and Stephon Castle with 20 led the way for the Spurs who are now 19-21 and need to snap out fast.
The Heat’s schedule was terrible, forcing them to be on the road for almost two weeks. Miami had to go on a tour through the West facing some of the best teams. In the beginning, it was OK with them winning three events, but after that, they lost three in a row.
Jimmy Butler’s return to the court is positive news for the Heat, who have been without their superstar for some time. His desire to leave the team and some hot-headed statements got him suspended, but it seems that action didn’t calm down the veteran forward. After the game against the Nuggets, he had more statements that could be labeled as “bold.”

Spurs vs. Heat Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs aren’t that good on the road this year, 7-11. Miami is 10-8 at home and is finally back at its Kaseya Center, where it plays much better than on the road. With Butler in the lineup, we expect them to win easily.
