Suns vs Magic: Phoenix is continuing the road trip with a top in Florida
The Phoenix Suns are visiting the Orlando Magic on Sunday evening at Kia Center.
Devin Booker is in a killer mode
Devin Booker has scored 106 points in the last two games for the Suns. He is coming off a 62-point performance in the Suns 133-131 loss to the Indiana Pacers. That one ended the Suns’ seven-game winning streak. Phoenix is now sixth in the Western Conference with a 26-19 record. They are seventh in the league with 49.1% shooting from the field and one spot lower with 37.8% shooting from deep. Kevin Durant leads the team with 28.8 points per game which puts him fifth in the NBA.
The Magic are struggling lately
The Orlando Magic have fallen to eighth place in the Eastern Conference with a 23-22 record. They have lost seven of the last 10 games and are coming off a 107-106 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Orlando is the worst team in the league in three-pointers made and three-point percentage, but they are allowing the fewest field goal attempts in the league. Paolo Banchero leads the team with 22.6 points and 7 rebounds per game.
Betting Trends
The Suns are 7-1 SU in the last 8 games, 4-1 SU in the last 5 games against Orlando, 4-1 SU in the last 5 road games and 6-1 SU in the last 7 games against teams from the Eastern Conference. The Magic are 1-4 SU in the last 5 games and 1-6 SU in the last 7 games against Western Conference opponents.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Suns are on the rise, which cannot be said about the Magic. Phoenix was on a seven-game winning streak that ended against Indiana. Devin Booker has been playing excellently lately, and he will be a huge problem for Orlando’s defense. The Magic are still hanging on in the playoff zone, but things have been difficult in the last week. Phoenix has been dominating Orlando in recent years, and with Booker and Durant on top of their game, this will be another easy win for the Suns.
