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.

Magic at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Magic 109

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no reason to risk nearly 3 times your potential return on the Grizzlies (-290) when they should win by margin.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -6.5 (-118).

The Grizzlies rank 7th in opponents’ points per game (112.4) and have the 2nd best opponents’ field-goal percentage (45.1%). The Magic rank 26th in points per game (111.8 ppg) and 19th in field-goal percentage (47.2%).

The Grizzlies are 22-13-2 ATS at home this season and are 2-1-1 ATS in their last 4 home games.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 231.5 (-112).

The Under is 8-1-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 10 Tuesday games, 6-1-1 in their last 8 games following an ATS win and 7-2-1 in their last 10 home games.

The Magic have scored more than 120 points just once in their last 7 games and the Under is 4-1 in their last 5 games. Orlando is 21-16 to the Under on the road this season and will have a hard time overcoming Memphis’ defensive play with a lackluster offense.

Orlando Magic at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Orlando Magic at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Orlando Magic (16-48) visit FedExForum Saturday to take on the Memphis Grizzlies (43-21). Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Magic vs. Grizzlies odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Grizzlies are the best covering team in the league at 42-22 ATS. Despite a 120-107 road loss to the Boston Celtics Thursday in their last outing, the Grizzlies have been playing well lately and have covered seven of their last 10 games.

Memphis has also gone over the projected total in seven of those 10 outings. The Grizzlies rank third in points per game (113.8).

Orlando has struggled offensively this season and ranks 28th in true shooting percentage (53.8).

The Magic are just 29-35 ATS and have an Eastern Conference-low 16 wins. Orlando is coming off a 103-97 road win over the Toronto Raptors as a 7.5-point underdog. It has covered four of its last six games.

Magic at Grizzlies odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Magic 100

Money line

PASS.

Memphis should win. It is 21-10 straight up at home and playing the worst team in the Eastern Conference, there’s no value in betting the Grizzlies (-2000) to win outright.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the GRIZZLIES -15.5 (-120).

I don’t typically advise betting an NBA spread this large, but the Grizzlies have been profitable at covering double-digit spreads this season. They’re 4-1 on the season when spotted 10 or more.

They won by 20 or more points in each of the four covers, with two wins coming by well over 30 points. Memphis is 14-10 ATS as a home favorite.

The Magic will be without a key big man in Carter Jr., who averages the third-most minutes and points per game for then. Orlando is just 9-13 ATS against Western Conference teams this season.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 229.5 (-115).

I do not see the Magic, a team averaging just 104 points per game, 28th in the league, to have enough firepower to help cover this total. They are just 4-6 O/U in their last 10 games.

Memphis is just 11-12-1 O/U as a home favorite yet is 34-29-1 O/U on the season, so covering the total against weaker teams at home has been difficult for them this season.

Orlando also isn’t that bad on the defensive glass, ranking 15th in defensive rebounding rate which will be important against Memphis’ No. 1 ranked offensive rebounding.

Limiting those second chances will be important, and with Carter Jr. out, veteran 7-foot C Robin Lopez may get more run which should only bode well for their ability to own the paint.
