Memphis Grizzlies vs Orlando Magic Prediction

The Grizzlies are still missing Ja Morant, Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr and Brandon Clarke, while the Magic are missing Jalen Suggs once again. The Grizzlies have gone cold lately, and they were far from convincing in their narrow win over the lowly Nets in their last outing. The Magic have split their last 14 games, but they haven’t won consecutive games since the start of December. It’s always tough to pick their neutral site games, but the Magic are relatively healthy, and they are clearly the team in better form in this matchup, so I will back the Magic at the short line in this spot.
