The Orlando Magic keep it in the south, but travel west to Memphis where they will face the Grizzlies at 8 p.m. ET.
So far in the preseason, the Magic are 2-4. However, they are coming off a 104-100 victory against the San Antonio Spurs. In that games, Andrew Nicholson, the rookie from Canada, went 7-8 from the floor dropping 18 points in just 17:42 minutes played. He recorded the game-high in scoring. Glen Davis, one of the veterans in this young Orlando team, added 17 points.
This will be a tough season for Magic fans to endure, being that they are without their All-Star center Dwight Howard, but, they have a talented group of young players that can hopefully get them back in the playoffs sooner rather than later.
For the Grizzlies, playoff expectations have become the norm.
In the preseason so far, they are 3-3. Unlike the Magic who won their last game, the Grizzlies came off a close game against the Indiana Pacers.
Possible NBA Finals matchup in the making?
Let's not get too ahead of ourselves, but both teams do have playoff appearance written all over them.
In their loss, their combo of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol gave them 28 points in about 33 minutes played. Rudy Gay struggled going a miserable 3-17 from the floor. He did finish with 9 rebounds however.
