Nurkić-less Suns look to start new streak in Orlando: Suns at Magic preview and prediction

The Phoenix Suns (26-19, 6th in Western Conference) play their third matchup of a seven-game road trip tonight against the Orlando Magic (23-22, 8th in Eastern Conference) in the teams’ second meeting this season. These two teams played in Phoenix on New Year’s Eve, as the Suns defeated the Magic 112-107 behind 31 points from Kevin Durant.

The Suns enter tonight after blowing a 17-point lead to the Indiana Pacers Friday and falling 133-131 despite a season-high 62 points from Devin Booker. This game snapped a seven-game win streak for the Suns. The Magic, who started off the season on fire, have lost four of their last five games and have been struggling overall since their strong beginning to the season.
