Tip-off from the Amway Center is schedule for 7:00pm EST and online sportsbooks have opened with the Magic -8.5 favorites in NBA betting at home vs the Grizzlies with an over/under total of 200 for the game. Sportsbooks also favor Orlando -400 in money line NBA odds vs Memphis +325 for Monday's game. The Grizzlies could be in a prime position to upset the Magic tonight at the Amway Center as Orlando has dropped their last two games at home.
The Grizzlies will need to overcome their own downfalls though as they have lost their last two games at home vs the Dallas Mavericks 91-106 and a 110-116 overtime heartbreak vs the Boston Celtics. Memphis lost to the Celtics by 6-points and couldn't cover the spread as 3.5-point NBA betting favorites to drop to 5-5 ATS for the season. Although the Grizzlies have gone 11-5 for their past match-ups vs the Magic, the Memphis players know that they have much more work that needs to be done. "As a group we are getting there," C Marc Gasol this week. "We realize that we can compete against anybody. ... We are 4-6 now and we are getting to that point where we must keep fighting and never give up." Heading into NBA odds for tonight's match-up, the Grizzlies vs Magic match-up last season ended up split at 1-1 but Memphis is a miserable 4-10 all-time when playing in Orlando.
The Magic were able to regroup after two straight losses to defeat the New Jersey Nets 91-90 on Saturday. Orlando won by 1-point and couldn't cover the 7.5-point spread as road NBA betting favorites to go a dismal 2-7 ATS for the season. C Dwight Howard grabbed 10-rebounds and 16-points in the win while G Jameer Nelson dropped the winning basket with 4.1-seconds left in the game. "We'd lost our last two, so good to get a win, no matter how you do it," said Nelson after the win. "We wanted to get that taste out of our mouth and go out there and get a win." Orlando usually prides themselves on defense but will be looking to tighten up the zone after allowing the Utah Jazz to net 104-points and the Toronto Raptors 110-points in NBA odds.
