Grizzlies vs. Magic Prediction

It's likely both teams will show signs of fatigue tonight as they're both on back-to-back games. For the Magic, there is at least no travel stress thanks to their home-court advantage.

That being said, the Magic are the inferior team overall by a fairly wide margin at the moment. They've been struck by the injury bug of late. On offense, Paolo Banchero has been delivering the goods lately along with Franz Wagner and Wendell Carter Jr. However, their defense will likely let them down as it won't be enough against the aggressive Grizzlies.

For Memphis, the likes of Ja Morant and Desmond Bane should be able to get the job done.
