Grizzlies at Magic picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 129, Magic 110
Moneyline
PASS.
The Grizzlies (-270) should come out on top, but there is no need to risk almost 3 times your potential profit on the ML when Memphis should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.
Against the spread
BET GRIZZLIES -7.5 (-102).
The Grizzlies have looked great lately, winning their last 4 games by an average of 15.5 points. The Magic are coming off a good win vs. the Thunder, but Oklahoma City was due for a letdown after winning straight up as an 11.5-point home underdog 150-117 vs. the Boston Celtics Tuesday. Don’t overreact to Orlando’s win over Oklahoma City. Lay the points.
Over/Under
BET OVER 231.5 (-110).
The Over is 4-0 in Orlando’s last 4 games after covering in its previous game and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between these teams in Orlando. Memphis is averaging 121 points in its last 4 games and should help the Over hit vs. a Magic team that is 27th in defensive efficiency when playing at home.
