Suns at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 111, Magic 105

Moneyline

The Magic are struggling, having lost 7 of their last 9 games. Even at home, where they are 14-7, they have lost 3 of their last 4.

The Suns (-120) lost in a track meet to the Pacers on Friday but didn't have Nurkic to finish the game.

The Suns are 12-8 on the road this season. I see a Phoenix win, but the choice to make is to go with the moneyline at -120 or the spread at -110.

Only 1 of their wins is a 1-point win, so if they are going to win, they are likely to cover.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Suns only have one 1-point win in their 26 victories, so it is a good bet they will cover the 1.5 points in a win Sunday.

They have not been a great bet ATS as they are 16-27-2 ATS, while the Magic are 28-17 ATS overall this season. But the Magic are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games and 3-6 ATS in their last 9.

It's hard to win and not cover a 1.5-point spread, so if you think a Phoenix win is in the cards, BET SUNS -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The 1st matchup between these teams this season had a total of 219.

The Suns are averaging 124.8 points over their last 8 games and have not scored fewer than 115.

Only 1 of the Magic's last 10 games has had more than 227 total points. They're averaging 101 points over their last 9 games.

BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).
