Orlando at Phoenix

Many gave up on Orlando after Dwight Howard walked (or was shoved) out of town, but they are playing decent basketball, ninth in the NBA in rebounding and on a 2-2 SU/3-1 ATS run despite being a dog in all four. In fact, they were a +13.5 dog at the Lakers and won 113-103 and a +10 dog at Golden State and won 102-94. Orlando's defense is outstanding, too, 10th in the NBA in points allowed. The Magic is 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and 36-16-1 ATS in their last 53 vs. the NBA Pacific. They are a dog again here but have the same number of wins as the Suns have. Phoenix knows nothing about playing defense allowing .473% shooting by opponents (third worst in the NBA) and ranks 27th in points allowed. Orlando has one day of rest but Phoenix is in the second of a back to back spot, getting blown out by the Clippers last night, 119-99 -- a quick turn around for a bad team lacking depth. Phoenix has lost six in a row, including as a favorite two games ago, a 97-94 loss to Dallas, so Play the Magic on the Moneyline.
