Orlando is rested with two full days off. They are one of the better defensive teams in the NBA at #7 in points allowed. The Magic are 19-7-1 ATS against the Western Conference. Memphis put together a four-game winning streak, with all four victories coming by single digits, and three coming by two points or fewer until the last game, a 106-101 loss at Minnesota as a favorite. Memphis is 2-9 ATS after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Memphis has been dealing with some nagging injuries to key players and could not coax much out of Marc Gasol (knee contusion) or Mike Conley (Achilles) on Saturday while Tony Allen (knee/hamstring) missed the game completely. Gasol and Conley spent most of the fourth quarter on the bench and combined for two points in the decisive period against the Timberwolves. And the Grizzlies are 9-20-1 ATS playing on one day of rest. Play Orlando.
