Magic in Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 112, Grizzlies 107

Moneyline

BET MAGIC (+100).

Orlando is the slightly better team and is off to a good start this season, so I like the Magic to win this game. Orlando has the more reliable stars and has the slightly deeper roster and will be able to beat the Grizzlies to remain undefeated on the season. Find F Paolo Banchero to leave after not doing much against Brooklyn.

Against the spread

PASSAGE.

The value is on the Magic ML.

Top/Bottom

LEAN UNDER 221.5 (-110).

Orlando has a very good defense and is allowing less than 100 points per game to start the season. Memphis is a good team, but the offense isn’t so special that I’m afraid to bet on Under here.

This is a poor one because Orlando’s offense is slightly better this year than last year and because G Yes Morant can help Memphis collect points in groups at any time.
