Magic vs Suns Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
ORL Magic Win(+105)

This is a game where defense will rule. That means every possession counts. The oddsmakers are also signalling that this is contest that can go either way with a soft point spread. Academically, the smart move is to take the plus money in what is a 50/50 proposition. The team that offers that price is the Magic. Now, we have to make our case.

Phoenix leans into defense and physicality. That’s their blueprint. But Orlando can match that physicality and defensive posture in more ways than one. The Magic aren’t going to play an away spot against a team that plays with pace or relies on their offense to outscore teams where Orlando will struggle to keep up. No, this is a game that will be played in the half-court where the Magic can also flex their defensive muscles. Yes, Phoenix has more offensive weapons on paper. But if that were really a factor here, the Suns would be laying a bigger number. Add in that they have been one of the most profitable teams in the NBA this season and there is a possibility if they weren’t such a cash cow, they would be an underdog here. We’re taking advantage of the value offered with the visitors in this one.
