Devin Booker is averaging 27.8 points and 5.7 assists, while Kevin Durant is averaging 26.7 points and 7.3 rebounds.

The Magic are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Suns are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The over is 5-0 in Magic last 5 overall. The over is 4-1-1 in Suns last 6 overall. The Magic are 12-4 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Phoenix and 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

The Phoenix Suns are obviously capable of blowing the doors off here, but they're still dealing with injuries and winning their last 5 games by an average of just 0.6 points. The Orlando Magic are still profitable on the season and lose as underdogs by an average of 2.4 points. The Magic are 18-11-1 ATS when underdogs of 5 to 9.5 points. I'll take a chance with the Magic in the big underdog role.
