Neither the Magic nor Grizzlies will earn a lot of national attention on Sunday with the day’s slate an overall dud—the potential exceptions being Indiana vs. Philadelphia or James Harden vs. Luka Doncic. But this game has a chance to be better than advertised.
Actually, scratch that: This game has a chance to be as entertaining as advertised, at least as far as oddsmakers are concerned.
Memphis opened as a 2.5-point favorite but has since falled a whole point.
These two tip off at 6:00 p.m. ET in Memphis, Tennessee.
Orlando Magic
The Magic enter this contest posting an average of 105.9 points per game. That number puts them at 26th in the league.
On defense, Orlando is giving up 106.8 points per night. That number puts the team at fifth in the NBA.

The question is, how truthful are those numbers? Aka, are the Magic as good as advertised on defense and as bad as they look in the points-per-game-scored stats?
Offensively, Orlando is 23rd in Offensive Efficiency, which removes pace from the equation when figuring out how effective a team is on offense. The Magic are scoring just 105.1 points per 100 possessions.
On defense, the Magic are giving up 106 points per 100 possessions, which slides them back a bit from their elite defensive points-per-game numbers but still keeps them in the top 10.

Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies enter this contest even more one-sided than the Magic but in a similar theme.
On the year, Memphis is scoring just 101.6 points per game, which puts the team in dead last across all 30 teams.
As far as Offensive Efficiency is concerned, the Grizzlies are scoring just 102.6 points per 100 possessions. That number is good enough for 29th, putting them ahead of only the Chicago Bulls.

On defense, Memphis is the No. 1 team in the league in raw points-per-game-allowed stats, giving up just 103.8 points per night. But here’s the catch: The Grizz also run the league’s slowest pace. So one could assume that their impressive numbers on defense are simply a byproduct of creating the fewest possessions per night of any team across the Association.
Think again. This team does, in fact, have that going for them, but that’s not the whole story. This team has kept alive its Grit-and-Grind mentality and has locked in on defense for all 48 minutes regardless of how many possessions they and their opponents ultimately create.
On the year, Memphis is giving up 104.6 points per 100 possessions. That number does, admittedly, bump the Grizzlies out of the Top five in Defensive Efficiency, but they remain sixth in that advanced category.

Free Orlando Magic vs. Memphis Grizzlies NBA Prediction: Expect a slog.
Between both teams having good defenses, both squads having bad offenses and both being in the bottom-three in pace this season (Cleveland is the other team in the bottom-three), picking this as the lowest-scoring game of the night seems like easy money.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Memphis ATS
Memphis at home should turn this game into even more of a slog than even the No. 28 paced-team in the league appreciates.
Grizzlies get a win that in any other contest would feel close but in this one feels like Memphis never ceded control for all 48 minutes.
