Phoenix’s leading scorer faces a Magic team without Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs as both sides look to turn around losing records.
The Phoenix Suns host the Orlando Magic Thursday, Nov. 5, at 9 p.m. ET, with both looking to steady rough starts: Orlando is 2-5 and Phoenix 1-5. Orlando sits 23rd in the power index, one place ahead of Phoenix at 24th. The Suns score 113.3 points per game but allow 124.3, while Orlando averages 105.7 points scored and 114.7 allowed. Devin Booker has 148 points through six games; Franz Wagner has 142 points and 53 assists in seven, but Orlando will be without Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs. The key is whether Booker can turn Phoenix’s scoring edge into efficient offense while Wagner and Desmond Bane test the Suns’ defense.
