The Phoenix Suns pay a visit to the Orlando Magic at the Kia Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Phoenix Suns vs. Orlando Magic Prediction. This article will include a Phoenix Suns vs. Orlando Magic Pick.
Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
The Phoenix Suns are starting to heat up again, as they’ve won three of their past four games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after blowing past the shorthanded Grizzlies in a 131-105 road win last night. Devin Booker led the team with 36 points on 16 of 24 shooting; Jalen Green added 21 points on nine of 18 shooting, while Collin Gillespie tallied 11 points with 10 assists.
As a team, the Suns shot 50 percent from the field and 17 of 45 from the 3-point line as they found themselves in a real arm wrestle with the pesky Grizzlies until the fourth quarter, where the Suns outscored the Grizzlies by an incredible 40-16 to make it look easy in the end.
Orlando Magic Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been in a major slump as they’ve lost seven of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting embarrassed by the Raptors in a 139-87 road defeat on Sunday. Desmond Bane led the team in scoring with 17 points on five of 10 shooting; Jalen Suggs added 13 points with five assists, while Tristan da Silva chipped in with 12 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring.
As a team, the Magic shot just 38 percent from the field and nine of 38 from the 3-point line as they looked overwhelmed from the start and got outscored by 70-43 in the first half and things only got worse in the third quarter, where they leaked 43 points to suffer their worst defeat of the season.

Phoenix Suns vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Suns are still keeping an eye on Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen, Mark Williams and Haywood Highsmith, who are all listed as day-to-day, while the Magic have ruled out Anthony Black, Jonathan Isaac and Franz Wagner. The Suns enter this contest as the team in better shape and they’ve already beaten the Magic by 113-110 in double overtime back on Feb 21 so it’s a little surprising to see them open as underdogs in this spot.
Sure, the Suns are playing their second game of a back-to-back set, but the Magic are just stuck in a rut at the moment and I think their struggles continue with another defeat in this one. The Suns haven’t been at their best but they could be getting a bunch of players back in action and I think they are running into the slumping Magic at just the right time.
