Orlando Magic vs Phoenix Suns Betting Preview

The Orlando Magic (8-6) are set to face off against the Phoenix Suns (9-5) in a Monday night showdown at the Footprint Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 PM ET. The Magic come into this game as slight favorites with a spread of -2.5, reflecting their recent hot streak of five consecutive wins, including a solid 98-86 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. Their moneyline currently sits at -135, translating to an implied win probability of 55%.

Orlando has had the luxury of three days off since their last game, providing ample rest for their roster. This could be a crucial advantage as they look to extend their winning streak. However, the Magic face the challenge of traveling cross-country, crossing two time zones, which might affect their performance on the road.

On the other hand, the Suns are struggling, having dropped their last three contests, most recently a narrow 120-117 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves. With a moneyline of +115, the Suns have an implied win probability of 45%. Phoenix is on the second night of a back-to-back, which could prove to be a disadvantage given the limited recovery time for their players.

One player to keep an eye on is Franz Wagner of the Magic. His points and assists prop market has gained significant attention, with the over/under set at 33.5 points and assists (-110). Sharp bettors are leaning towards the over, suggesting it might be undervalued.

This matchup presents an intriguing clash of form and circumstance, with the Magic riding a wave of momentum and the Suns looking to snap their losing streak. Bettors should weigh the travel and rest dynamics alongside recent performances as they consider their wagers.
