Offensively, the Magic put up just 103.7 points per game while shooting only 43.4 percent as a team. Orlando has some injury issues for this game.

NBA Betting Trends

Orlando

The Magic have covered the spread in seven straight road games against a team with a losing home record. They have also covered in four straight when on 1 day of rest.

Phoenix

The Suns are just 2-6 against the spread in their last eight games as a home favorite and 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight home games against a team with a losing road record.

Prediction:

Orlando owns a 128-114 win over Phoenix at home back on Dec. 4. The Magic have won five of the last six meetings with the Suns as well, including three wins in Phoenix. Due to a lack of offense, it can be hard to trust Orlando on the road, but the Magic have shown an ability to excel against good offensive teams as of late. The Magic have been able to control pace of play and throw the offensive-minded teams off their game. Phoenix has also shown a consistent ability not to defend, which should open the door for the Magic to see a boost in production tonight. Orlando is the mentally tougher team and the more unified team in terms of chemistry.

NBA Prediction: Orlando Magic +2.5
