Phoenix Suns visit Orlando Magic on TNT Thursday
The Phoenix Suns will square off against the Orlando Magic this Thursday.
These two teams are in very different positions in their respective divisions at this point, but they have both shown signs of promise.
The Phoenix Suns sit in the middle of the pack in both the Western Conference and the Pacific Division. Despite this, the Suns have some hope after their most recent victory. The Suns managed to take out the LA Lakers this weekend. This sort of win should give them the confidence that they need to go on and win some games.
The Suns have a 5-4 record on the season, but this doesn’t hold much weight in the Western Conference. There are 10 teams in the Western Conference with records over .500 at this point. The Suns will need to pick up a win against the Magic in order to stay in the race. In NBA odds they are the favorites among the betting fans.
The Magic are one of the favorites in the Eastern Conference. They have won 6 of their first 9 games and they sit atop the Southeast Division. The Magic will need to gain a lead in the early part of this season. They are in the same division as the Heat. The Heat have struggled to this point in the season, but they will almost certainly pick things up as the season goes on.
This matchup should be a good one as one of the best offensive teams takes on one of the best defensive teams. The key in this game will be Dwight Howard. Howard is the only dominant big man on either team. If he can get going, the Magic will have the advantage.
