Magic at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Magic 112, Grizzlies 107
Moneyline
BET MAGIC (+100).
Orlando is the slightly better team and has shot out to a hot start this season, so I like the Magic to win this game. Orlando has the more reliable stars and has the slightly deeper team and will be able to beat the Grizzlies to stay undefeated on the season. Look for F Paolo Banchero to go off after not doing much vs. Brooklyn.
Against the spread
PASS.
The value is on the Magic ML.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 221.5 (-110).
Orlando has a very good defense and is allowing under 100 points per game to start the season. Memphis is a good team, but its offense isn’t anything so special that I am scared to bet on the Under here.
This is a lean because Orlando’s offense is slightly better this year than last year and because G Ja Morant can go off and help Memphis to put up points in bunches at anytime.
