Orlando lost to Memphis on January 18 in London with a score of 109:126. The match immediately went wrong: the first quarter was lost at 23:40, and in the second quarter the opponent brought the difference to a critical 33 points, and by the big break the scoreboard was burning 39:72. After a pause, Orlando tried to get back into the game, adding in the third and fourth quarters. The gap was reduced to 17 points, largely due to Paolo Bankero, who became the best player of the team. However, there was not enough strength for a full-fledged comeback, and Memphis calmly brought the meeting to victory. Orlando ranks first in the Southeast Division with 23 wins and 19 losses.

1.89Tip and bets
Orlando is approaching the match at home after a painful defeat, but from a distance the team looks more composed and structured than Charlotte. The visitors just blew the first half against Cleveland and continue to have problems with positional offense. Orlando has won four of the last five face-to-face meetings, is more confident in defense and plays with the support of its arena. Bookmakers offer moderate odds, but the betting tip and the bet look justified precisely in favor of the owners. Orlando should have won the race due to discipline, depth of the squad and tactical advantage.
Our prediction is that Orlando will win with a handicap of (-4.5) points in 1.74
