The Orlando Magic and the Phoenix Suns duke it out at the Mortgage Matchup Center on Saturday night. Here’s an Orlando Magic vs. Phoenix Suns prediction. This article will include an Orlando Magic vs. Phoenix Suns pick.
Orlando Magic Betting Preview
The Orlando Magic are starting to heat up, as they’ve won four of their last five games overall, and they will be eager to keep it going after making light work of the slumping Kings in a 131-94 road win on Thursday. Paolo Banchero led the team with 30 points and six assists on 10 of 21 shooting, Anthony Black added 20 points on eight of 13 shooting, and Desmond Bane chipped in with 17 points on six of nine shooting.
As a team, the Magic shot 50 percent from the field and a sizzling 27 of 50 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 46 points in the second quarter to overcome an early 12-point deficit, and they showed no mercy as they dominated right till the final buzzer to secure one of their biggest wins of the season.
Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in a rut, as they’ve lost five of their last seven games overall, and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting routed by the Spurs in a 121-94 road defeat on Thursday. Jalen Green led the team with 26 points on 11 of 23 shooting, Mark Williams added 11 points with 10 rebounds, and Jordan Goodwin chipped in with 10 points off the bench.
As a team, the Suns shot just 37 percent from the field and 12 of 42 from the 3-point line as they struggled right from the start and fell behind by double digits going into halftime, and things only got worse in the third quarter, where they leaked 37 points to fall behind by as many as 32 points at one stage. Collin Gillespie had a rough night as he shot just three of 13 from the field for his eight points, while Devin Booker scored just five points in nine minutes of action.

Orlando Magic vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
The Magic are still playing without Franz Wagner, and they are keeping an eye on Jalen Suggs, who is questionable due to back spasms, while the Suns have already ruled out Cole Anthony and Devin Booker, with Grayson Allen listed as questionable. Here we have two teams trending in opposite directions, as the Magic are getting healthy and they’re starting to heat up again, while the Suns have gone cold lately and just got smashed by the Spurs in an ugly defeat on Thursday.
The Suns expect to have some players return for this one, which should help drastically, but the Magic are the hotter team right now, and I think they represent decent value as the slight underdogs in this spot.
