Florida, land of basketball on this umpteenth NBA night. While Miami will fight against Cleveland, the Orlando Magic receives a franchise from the WEST Conference, the Phoenix Suns. Favorite on paper thanks to a better collective, the group coached by Jamahl Mosley attacks the game with recent bad news. While Banchero will not be present despite an imminent return, it is the turn of Franz Wagner to be absent following an injury which should be quite long. A frustrating absence for the German winger who was on the path to the All-Star game by being leader of his team. As a result, Jalen Suggs and his partners will have to find new resources to continue to perform before the return of their franchise player. Even if the basketball offered by the Floridians is attractive, a defeat on the night of Sunday to Monday would not surprise our experts at the end of the 40 minutes.
Kevin Durant still absent, Phoenix continues its road trip with a third consecutive trip. Defeated by New Orleans by two small points, the men led by Mike Budenholzer failed to bounce back against the Heat the previous night. Defeated by an incredible Jimmy Butler – Bam Adebayo duo, the Suns should encounter less adversity in terms of individualities because Orlando will play without its two stars. It is time for Devin Booker and Bradley Beal to put in an XXL performance to allow the team located in Arizona to get closer to a top 6 that is difficult to reach in the West.
