Phoenix Suns vs Orlando Magic prediction

This line is a bit soft because Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic are questionale so check the injury report before betting. With that said, I want little to do with the Magic and their consistent struggles. The Magic have lost 4 of their last 5 games, and them finding consistent offense most nights is tough. Beal or no Beal, a combination of Durant and Booker should be able to get the job done in this spot. Again, the Magic are having major offensive issues right now. I'll lay the bucket with the Suns on the road.
