Preview, predictions, TV and injury report for tonight's Orlando Magic v Memphis Grizzlies game
NBASaturday, 30 March 2024 at 16:00
In a very short day of games this Saturday in the NBA, Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies will face each other in a game, a priori, very unbalanced. The two stars of the game will be Paolo Banchero and Jaren Jackson Jr.
The Grizzlies will be the visitors in a game they come into, as usual, with countless injuries. The Tennessee franchise has lost its last two games, and has struggled all season with hardly any of its key players missing. As a result, Memphis is currently 13th in the Western Conference with a 24-49 record.
The Magic, meanwhile, are playing their second night of back-to-back games as they look to redeem themselves from their three consecutive losses, which have caused them to drop out of contention for 4th place in the Eastern Conference (New York Knicks at 44-29) and move dangerously close to the play-in zone. However, they remain in 5th place with a record of 42-31.
