Magic ML (-105) at Suns

My NBA best bet today is the Magic moneyline against the Suns. Orlando comes into this matchup well-rested, while Phoenix is playing on the second night of a back-to-back after losing 132-119 to Portland on Wednesday.
The Suns have struggled defensively to start the season, giving up 132 points to the Trail Blazers in their latest outing. Phoenix has had trouble getting stops, and I expect Orlando to take advantage with Desmond Bane and Franz Wagner leading the offense.

The scheduling advantage is another reason I like Orlando here. The Magic haven’t played since Monday, giving them two full days off, while the Suns are dealing with a quick turnaround. That’s a tough spot for a Phoenix team that hasn’t been playing particularly well.
With the Magic rested and the Suns struggling defensively, I’ll take Orlando to win outright in my NBA bet of the day.
