💰 Best Bet #1 Orlando Magic / Spread / -4.5 at -110 / 58% / Orlando’s strong defensive rating (108.2) and Memphis’s key absences like Ja Morant create a clear edge, with recent form showing Orlando covering in 6 of last 8 road/neutral games.
💰 Best Bet #2 Under / Total / 220.5 at -108 / 54% / Both teams rank top-10 in defensive efficiency this season, and injuries limit scoring punch; pace drops in international settings, favoring a grind-it-out affair under the line.
💰 Best Bet #3 Orlando Magic / Moneyline / -180 / 62% / Magic’s superior net rating (+7.1) and Grizzlies’ depleted backcourt without Morant tilt probabilities heavily toward Orlando despite the juice.
