Magic vs. Grizzlies prediction and odds for Tuesday, March 28 (Memphis stays hot)

The Memphis Grizzlies have won six straight games and nine of their last 10 matchups, heating up at the perfect time before the postseason.

Tuesday night brings an interesting challenge for the Grizz, as they take on the Orlando Magic, who have really played well since starting the season 5-20. Orlando is 27-23 over its last 50 games, and it still is alive for a play-in spot in the East.

The Magic are also on a winning streak, taking home their last three games.

With Ja Morant listed as day-to-day, do the Grizzlies have enough firepower to win and cover the seven-point spread in this matchup?

Let’s break down the odds and a best bet for this game:

Magic vs. Grizzlies odds, spread and total

Magic vs. Grizzlies prediction and pick

Memphis has played a few close games over this winning streak, but at home the Grizz have a major advantage over an Orlando team that takes a step back when playing away from Amway Center.

The Grizzlies are 32-5 at home this season, covering the spread in 18 of their 33 games as home favorites and winning those games by an average margin of 11.3 points per game.

While Orlando has been a much better team over the last 50 games, it has not shaken its struggles on the road (13-24 this season), especially when it comes to offense.

The Magic rank 27th in the NBA in offensive rating and 24th in net rating on the road this season. Even though they have covered 20 times as road underdogs, Memphis is a tough matchup given how well the team has played as of late.

The Grizzlies are third in the league in net rating over their last 10 games, and they rank first in the league in net rating at home (No. 4 offense and No. 2 defense).

If Morant suits up, I think the Grizz stay hot and cover the seven points on Tuesday night.
