Grizzlies vs. Magic Pick on Spread
The Grizzlies broke a two-game losing streak by defeating the struggling Brooklyn Nets, but have only one win against a team with a winning record in their last ten games. Orlando will likely be a significant challenge.
The Magic are 3-3 in January in 2026 and have only covered the spread in two of those matchups, and Memphis could take advantage of their recent inconsistency in this interconference pairing.
This matchup will take place at a neutral venue, but basketball fans should expect the crowd to favor Orlando, as SF Franz Wagner is leading the Magic with a team-high 22.7 points per game. His brother, C Moritz Wagner, recently returned from injury and logged his first minutes of the season with 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists off the bench against the New Orleans Pelicans. Germany will likely be very excited to support its home-grown NBA talent.
PG Ja Morant (calf), F-C Brandon Clarke (calf), and C Zach Edey are out for the Grizzlies. PG Jalen Suggs (knee) is out for the Magic.
Grizzlies vs. Magic Over/Under, Spread
The Magic enter Thursday’s game as 5.5-point favorites, returning a 1.42x payout on PrizePicks Team Picks if they win outright.
