The Memphis Grizzlies opened their 2024-25 season with a thrilling 126-124 victory over the Utah Jazz. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams showcasing their offensive firepower. 

Ja Morant led the Grizzlies with 30 points, while Jaren Jackson Jr. added 22 points and 10 rebounds. Lauri Markkanen paced the Jazz with 33 points. Despite a late surge from the Jazz, the Grizzlies were able to hold on for the win. 

The victory was a positive start to the season for the Grizzlies, who are expected to be a contender in the Western Conference. For the upcoming match against the Orlando Magic, the Memphis Grizzlies are expected to focus on their defensive structure and rebounding to capitalize on their home-court advantage. 

The Grizzlies, known for their aggressive defense, will likely aim to contain the Magic’s Paolo Banchero.The Grizzlies’ own Santi Aldama, who scored 27 points against the Utah Jazz, will be a focal point for Memphis, especially in the paint, where they hope to control rebounds and second-chance opportunities.

The Grizzlies on average score 113.6 points per game and ranked 2nd on in the south-west division , they score 46.4% from the field and 35.5% from the arc and are the 10th best in the season.

Orlando Magic

Paolo Banchero led the charge, scoring 33 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in a dominant performance. Franz Wagner also made a significant contribution, adding 23 points with efficient shooting, which helped the Magic secure a comfortable lead in the third quarter that they never relinquished.

Against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Orlando Magic defensive strategy will likely focus on creating turnovers and limiting the Grizzlies' fast-break opportunities. Given that Memphis has been susceptible to defensive pressure, especially without key players like Jaren Jackson Jr., the Magic could capitalize on this weakness to disrupt their rhythm​.
