The road Suns enter this contest coming off of a 129-117 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. They entered that one as 2-point road underdogs.
The home Magic are coming off of a 94-87 win over the Dallas Mavericks. They were 8.5-point underdogs ahead of that one.
On the year, the Suns are 7-4 ATS.
The Magic are 5-6-1 ATS.
Phoenix Suns
As of this writing, Chris Paul is questionable for this one, listed day-to-day. And in case you’ve missed it, Cam Johnson is out for an extended period as of this week.
The Suns so far this season average 113.9 points per game. That number puts the team in the No. 12 spot in the Association.
Looking at the advanced numbers, Phoenix posts 113.1 points per 100 possessions—a number that slots them in at 5th for Offensive Efficiency.
Defensively, the Suns are giving up 104.7 points per contest. So far in 2022-23, that number is good enough for No. 1, but it doesn’t feel like Small Sample Size Theatre. It really feels sustainable.
In terms of Defensive Efficiency, this group allows 104.5 points per 100 possessions. Across 30 teams, they rank 2nd in that category, ranking only behind the No. 1 Milwaukee Bucks.
Orlando Magic
Paolo Banchero is everything the Orlando Magic wanted Aaron Gordon to be over the years.
WITH Air Gordon’s dunk package.
Maybe that’s not even fair to say this soon into Paolo’s career (and I really don’t mean to discredit a solid all-around player in Aaron Gordon). But this kid, who turns 20 years old on Saturday (20!!!), looks like he can take the league by storm—and he’s been keeping this team interesting along with some uniquely tall lineups.
Here’s the catch, and here’s why that’s all important: Paolo’s status is up in the air in this one. He’s the type of player, despite his general inexperience, who can keep a game interesting.
If the Magic are without him, they’re a much tougher bet.
Orlando is just 3-4 over its last seven games straight up, but it’s 5-2 against the spread during that stretch.
The Magic on the year are scoring 110.1 points per game and 107.6 points per 100 possessions. Those numbers slot them in at 22nd and 21st, respectively.
Defensively, Orlando allows 113.7 points per night on average, placing them in 15th place.
In terms of Defensive Efficiency, they are in a three-way tie, as of this writing on Thursday night, with the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers for 18th in the NBA. They’re giving up 109.8 points per 100 possessions.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.
- Magic are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win.
- Under is 7-0 in Magic last 7 Friday games.
- Under is 4-0 in Suns last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Free Phoenix Suns vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
Paolo Banchero’s status here really is going to make the difference where my money goes. Even more so than Chris Paul’s status.
If Paolo is in, I’m risking it on Orlando ATS.
Assuming he’s not—that’s where I have to lean now, which means Suns cover.
