The Orlando Magic are going to have their hands full on the road tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedEx Forum. At 16-48 straight up, the Magic are objectively one of the worst teams in the NBA and currently rank fifth in the Southeast Division. While they have won their last four games, this is a very bad team that was already crushed by Memphis 135-115 in February. Memphis, on the other hand, has been one of the more pleasant surprises in the association this year and currently leads the Southwest Division with a 43-21 overall record. The Grizzlies are not only getting it done straight up but also have the best ATS record in the league at 41-23-1. That is a win rate of 65.6 percent compared to Orlando’s 45.3 percent figure. Here are the odds for this likely blowout courtesy of WynnBET:

Magic vs. Grizzlies Prediction and Pick
This will be the sixth game of the year that the Grizzlies are ATS favorites with Memphis going 5-1 in those games. The last time these two teams faced off the spread was 8.5 in favor of Memphis and they ended up winning by 20. And while their mini-streak is promising to some, it doesn't change the fact that the Magic have yet to win double-digit games on the road thus far. Plus, the Magic are 5+10 ATS coming off a win and 25-34 as an underdog. The Magic are no threat to go off on the Grizzlies here as their 28th ranked offense barely puts up 100 points per game and ranks 27th in three-point shooting. So when they do go down, they won't have the tools to fight back and mount a comeback. The Magic not only can't score, but they also are one of the most foul-happy teams in the NBA and are averaging 19.8 infractions per game. This along with their turnover issues will seal their fate early and the Grizzlies will keep rolling to another ATS win.
Pick: Grizzlies -16 (-110)
