NBA prediction
Davin Booker’s 44 were not enough for Phoenix to avoid the defeat against Minnesota which, added to those against Sacramento and Oklahoma City, becomes the third in a row for the Suns while for Orlando, the Arizona team’s next opponent, the results were sufficient before 94 and then 98 to overcome Indiana and Philadelphia. Monday night’s match, beyond Phoenix’s negative streak, will still be a big match full of ideas and an interesting test to measure both teams.
As for the Suns, it will be the fourth consecutive high-level opponent and, speaking of repeated events, yet another game where Phoenix will have to give up many of its top players (Beal, Durant and Gillespie will be missing). The record of the team coached by Budenholzer is more than positive but achieving a success against a top-level opponent would also be important for self-esteem while on the Orlando side, the “proof” is “solely” linked to the field factor, for the Magic in this the first part of the season was more vital than for any other team. Suggs and his teammates, in fact, win practically only on the friendly parquet of the Kia Center and achieving an away success in Phoenix (where in any case the bookmakers see them starting slightly ahead), mirroring what was said about the Suns, would have an importance that would have a strong value intrinsic.
