The Grizzlies have been playing great this season and in their recent games as they have been stacking up the wins and have moved all the way up to 3rd place in the Western Conference. Their team is finally healthy and basically at full strength with just 1 player missing from their rotation but ever since they got all their players back and have been staying healthy they have been crushing teams by double digits in their games and going on long win streaks. The Magic have been awful this season but they have been playing much better recently winning 3 of their last 4 games. They should put up more resistance in this game here at home but 2 of their last 3 wins were against teams that have been just as bad as them this season and the Grizzlies are one of the best teams in the NBA this season. The Grizzlies will win this game by around double digits but anything more than 15 is a stretch as the Magic have not been as bad recently.
