Phoenix enters this game riding a three-game winning streak and has shown no signs of letting up down the stretch. They have been the best team in the league at covering spreads at 28-14 ATS.

Why The Suns Could Cover The Spread

The Phoenix Suns head to Central Florida after taking care of business in South Beach on Tuesday. The Suns defeated the Heat 110-100 and were in control for all 48 minutes. They are playing such great basketball and are getting elite contributions from the whole squad. The depth on this team is remarkable. Devin Booker leads the way in scoring at 25.1 points per game, Deandre Ayton averages over 11 rebounds per game, and Chris Paul is the facilitator, averaging 8.8 assists per game. Jae Crowder also helps spread the floor, averaging 2.4 3-pointers per game. With many contributors coming off the bench, the Suns have a consistent formula for success.

Phoenix is the third-best defensive team in the league and is capable of locking down any team. Any great basketball mind will tell you that good defense leads to good offense, which is what this Suns team loves to take advantage of. The Suns take care of their business, even on the road. They are 5-1 ATS in their last six games on the road against teams with losing records. For those that are worried about the back-to-back, don't be. Phoenix is 5-0 ATS in its last five games on the back end of a back-to-back. With the Magic having a bunch of their key players out and being on a back-to-back themselves, the Suns are in a great spot to cover.

Why The Magic Could Cover The Spread

The Orlando Magic have clearly thrown in the towel this season. They've been playing without Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony, Terrence Ross, and Mo Bamba, to name a few. This lack of depth will kill a team, and the Magic have certainly fallen victim. They have sifted their focus to securing a top pick in the draft as they've begun the sweepstakes for big man Aaron Gordon ahead of the trade deadline. They hope to get a plethora of draft capital in return, paving the way for younger guys to get some time on the court down the stretch. There have been a few notable bright spots for this Magic bunch, though.

The most important player to this team's success is center Nikola Vucevic, who is a legit star. He is a dominant big man averaging 25 points per game and well over 11 rebounds per game. He will have to control the paint to keep his team within striking distance in this game. He will also need some help from Michael Carter-Williams, who's averaging 4.2 assists per game and is capable of providing streaky scoring for the Magic. Another name to watch will be Evan Fournier, who averages 2.8 3s per game and can serve as a catalyst for the offense. The Magic are certainly the lesser of the two teams, but they do have home-court advantage. Orlando is 11-11-1 ATS on its home court in 2021.

Final Suns-Magic Prediction & Pick

I understand the concern with such a large spread. It is scary at first sight and will shy many bettors away. Don't let it! Phoenix has gone 6-3 ATS as a favorite of at least seven points this season. Their recipe for success is clear and consistent. They possess WAY more firepower in this matchup and love to take care of business against subpar teams. They blow opponents out on a regular basis and will do so against the struggling and depleted Orlando Magic. Look for a comfortable double-digit victory for the Suns.

FINAL PICK: Phoenix Suns -9.5 (-110)
