The Memphis Grizzlies (17-22) take on the Orlando Magic (22-18) in a special NBA Global Games matchup on Thursday, January 15, at the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany.

The Magic look to build momentum in this international showcase, as they're coming off an inspiring 128-118 victory over Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans. The Magic offense finally clicked after a brief slump, with their starting backcourt duo leading the way.

Desmond Bane produced a game-high 27 markers, while Anthony Black came through with 26 points and 7 assists. Main star Paolo Banchero also contributed an all-around performance of 23 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists.

Franz Wagner, playing in his home country, is set to return to the lineup after recovering from an ankle injury, adding a massive boost to the Magic rotation.

As for the Grizzlies, they enter this contest having recently won a gritty 103-98 decision against the Brooklyn Nets. Six Grizzlies players scored in double digits, with rookie Cedric Coward's 21 leading the way.

However, the Grizzlies are currently going through tons of injuries, including the absences of Ja Morant, Ty Jerome, Zach Edey, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Brandon Clarke. These five players won't suit up on Thursday's game against the Magic.

Our Orlando Magic vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

After their offensive explosion against the Pelicans, the Magic seem to have found their rhythm just in time for this global stage. Franz Wagner is also returning from a long absence, and they'll be facing a Grizzlies squad with significant injuries.

Speaking of the Grizzlies, they're still dealing with internal issues, particularly with the Ja Morant situation. Expect them to struggle against an inspired Magic squad. Our prediction for the Orlando Magic vs Memphis Grizzlies match is: Magic (-4.5) cover the spread.
