Memphis Grizzlies vs Orlando Magic 3/22/19 NBA Odds, Preview and Prediction

The Memphis Grizzlies head to the Amway Center to take on the Orlando Magic in Friday night NBA action.

Memphis has been playing better since the trade deadline and recently, they have won six out of their last 10 games. Despite that, the Grizzlies still have the third-worst record in the West and they have their offense to blame for that. Memphis is the lowest-scoring NBA team at only 102.5 points per game.

The Orlando Magic making one last big run at the playoffs. The Magic are only 1.5 games behind the Heat for the final playoff spot in the East and they have won six out of their last 10 games including the last three to keep themselves alive. However, with games running out, every outing has become a must-win for the Magic.

Who Wins?

Memphis is 6-4 SU in their last 10 games played and the Grizzlies are 1-3 SU in their last four games on the road. Orlando has a similar 6-4 SU record in the previous 10 games and the Magic are 5-0 SU in their last five games at home. Head to head, the Grizzlies are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games against the Magic but are just 3-6 SU in their last nine road games in Orlando.

You have to give it to the Grizzlies for still trying to make something out of nothing. But the Magic are still making a playoff push and have won three in a row heading to this contest. Memphis only has 10 road wins this season while Orlando is 21-16 SU at home. I’m picking the Orlando Magic to beat the Memphis Grizzlies on 3/22/19.

Other Bets To Make

The Grizzlies are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games played and Memphis is 2-2 ATS on the road during that period. The Magic are an even 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Memphis is 6-16 ATS in their last 22 road games. The Grizzlies are 2-6 ATS in their last eight Friday games and are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against the Southeast Division. Orlando is 9-3 ATS in their last dozen games when playing on one day rest, 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against an opponent with a losing road record and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games. Memphis’ offensive struggles are going to put them in trouble once again. Although the Magic aren’t a high scoring team this season, their desire to remain in the playoff hunt should motivate their players to win this game. Orlando has covered well at home and against losing teams like Memphis. Prediction: Magic -7

The total has gone over in four out of the last six games played by Memphis. The over is also 4-2 in their last six road games. The under is 8-2 in the Magic’s last 10 games played. Orlando has seen the total go under in four out of their last five home games. Head to head, the under is 4-1 in the last five games between these two teams. Meanwhile, the over is 4-2 in the last six meetings between the Grizzlies and Magic in Orlando.

These are two teams who don’t have the most explosive offense in the league. Add the fact that Memphis has the 2nd best scoring defense in the league this season so this one should be a low-scoring affair. These teams have gone over more times recently in Orlando but they’ve not played there yet this year. These teams combined for just 202 points in their first meeting of the season. This one should be no different. Prediction: Under 209
