Orlando Magic vs Phoenix Suns Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
Sunday evening in the NBA sees the battered Orlando Magic host the Phoenix Suns at the Kia Center. The Magic sit third in the East standings with a 16-9 record while the Suns are eighth in the West at 12-10. Here’s our match prediction.
The Magic come into this contest following a 102-94 loss to the 76ers on Friday. It was the team’s second defeat in their last three appearances although they’ve been performing very well overall.
Unfortunately for Orlando, they’ll be without their two star players as Franz Wanger joins Paolo Banchero in the treatment room. The two forwards are responsible for 53.4 of the Magic’s points per game with the team only averaging 107.3 for the season.
The Suns are dealing with some injury trouble of their own with Kevin Durant ruled out after having missed the team’s last two games in a row. Unsurprisingly, both of those resulted in defeats with the most recent a 121-111 road loss to the Heat.
The Suns are now 5.5 games behind the first-place Thunder and have lost seven of their last 10. They’re also just 1-8 on the season in games that Durant misses, compared to 11-2 with him in the team.

Our Orlando Magic vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
Both teams come into this matchup missing key offensive players. The Magic have been quite unlucky with both Wagner and Banchero going down and will need to be at their absolute best on the defensive side to stand a chance.
Meanwhile, the Suns struggles without Kevin Durant have been well-documented. They at least still have a pair of potent offensive weapons in Booker and Beal but could struggle against this stifling Orlando defense. Our Orlando Magic vs Phoenix Suns prediction: under 211.5 points.
