Game Preview

With 110.7 points allowed per game on average, Orlando’s defense is one of the best in the 2023-24 NBA. However, the Magic aren’t as impressive defensively when it comes to playing on the road. In away games, they’re conceding 114.0 PPG.

This is something that Phoenix’s Kevin Durant might take advantage of. He’s the Suns’ scoring leader, putting away 30.2 points on average. We think he might score even more than usual this evening.

Game Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies are the team that’s scoring the least number of points of all the teams in the 2023-24 NBA. The good news for them is that they’ve got a good chance to up their offensive numbers on the last day of the year.

The thing is that they’re welcoming the NBA’s 9^th worst defense this evening. The Sacramento Kings are conceding 117.9 points per game. More importantly, they’re in poor form, losing three of their last four games.

If they’re going to do well against the Kings, the Grizzlies will need to score more than usual. For that, their scoring leader Desmond Bane will have to score more than his average of 25.1 points.
