Suns vs Magic Prediction
The current betting odds have the Magic listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Magic have looked good in their games this season with their 39-35 record overall which has them right in the middle of the East. They have looked a lot better on their home court too with their 22-14 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Suns have looked good in their games this season with their 41-33 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They haven't been a good road team though with their 17-18 road record this year. The Suns have looked like a different team in their road games this season and they haven't looked that great lately either. They are 4-6 in their last 10 games and they still aren't at full strength for this game as they deal with injuries. They are off a win over the Jazz in their last one, but they have been beating up on bad teams in their wins lately and they aren't in a good situation here either. They are playing this game on a back-to-back while the Magic are going to be rested. The Magic haven't looked any better lately as they are 3-7 in their last 10 games and have been up and down all season. They are off a terrible loss to the Raptors in their last one too, losing by over 50 points, but they have also looked like a completely different team on their home court this season and they are going to have an answer to that terrible loss. Look for the Magic to bounce back at home where they have looked so much better this season and take advantage of a Suns team in a bad situation that hasn't looked that great lately either. The best way to place a bet here is on the Magic to cover the spread in this game.
