Magic vs Grizzlies NBA London Game Preview, Picks
This NBA totals betting system is built on the idea that strong traveling teams can drive pace and scoring in matchups where the market leans too heavily toward the under — with Memphis and Orlando set to meet in London today.
By focusing on regular season games outside of division play, the system avoids slower rivalry environments and taps into contests that tend to be more open and less physical, which very well may be the case in Sunday's matchup between the Magic and Grizzlies.
It targets overs specifically when the betting public and money trends show a clear lean toward the under, creating a contrarian opportunity where expectations are suppressed but conditions for scoring remain strong.
The away team must be early enough in its season to still carry energy and identity, and it must also be coming off a decisive win, a signal that its offense and confidence are functioning at a high level — which is the Magic in this case, although the game is obviously being played at a neutral site in London.
When these elements align, strong road teams often set the tone, push pace, and elevate scoring beyond market expectations, making the over more attractive precisely when it is being overlooked.
So, let's take the Over at 230.5 total points on Sunday afternoon across the pond.
