Memphis Grizzlies at Orlando Magic: Starters, injury reports and predictions for October 11

The Memphis Grizzlies (2-1) are on the road this Tuesday night against a young Orlando Magic (2-1)  team in preseason action.

The Grizzlies will be coming off a three-day rest period after their game against Miami last Friday night. This will be their fourth game of the preseason.

So far this preseason, Taylor Jenkins has spaced out minutes pretty evenly among most of the Grizzlies’ roster. In their last match-up with Orlando this preseason, each player played around 22 minutes each, with the exception of David Roddy (12 minutes) and Kennedy Chandler (8 minutes).

Currently, Santi Aladma has been the player being watched the most this preseason as he is fighting for a chance to step into that open starting spot. As we get later into the preseason, the coaching staff will work to bring down the minutes of key players and give the younger bench players a chance to shine. Which could impact guys like Kennedy Chandler and David Roddy.

Memphis Grizzlies at Orlando Magic Oct. 11 predictions

The Grizzlies have done really well in preseason games, with a few holes to fill. Even though preseason does not mean too much when it comes to the grand scheme of the season, we should still see our guys step up and play well against Orlando, as Orlando won’t be able to match Memphis offensively.

Prediction: Memphis 110 – Orlando 100
