This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE GAME OF THE MONTH on the Magic.

Betting the NBA is about betting "situations" during the regular season. I love how this one sets up for Orlando tonight.

The Grizzlies are off a very satisfying 131-107 win over Charlotte just last night. Memphis has now won and covered in four straight, but I believe an inevitable letdown is finally imminent here in the final game of this road trip. That's followed by three whole nights off, before a Conference game vs. Utah.

Orlando is only 14-24, but it's been playing better over the last three weeks. It had won eight in a row before a three-game slide.

But the Magic did bounce in last night's 126-115 home win over the Thunder. After this Orlando hits the road for five straight on the West Coast, putting added importance onto tonight's contest for the home side.

I say this one means a lot more to Orlando. Look for the Grizzlies to fade down the stretch. The outright is possible, but the official call will be to grab as many points ass you can.

The play is ORLANDO.

Good luck, NP
