The future Hall of Famer is averaging 9.5 points, 9.4 assists and 1.7 assists per contest to start the season.

He is struggling to shoot the ball (36.8% from the field), but the Suns have still been one of the best teams in the league.

Currently, they are 8-3 in their first 11 games and coming off a win (without Paul) against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center on Wednesday evening.

They have an impressive 6-1 record in seven games at home but are a mediocre 2-2 in the four games they have played on the road.

Last season, they had the best record in the entire NBA, and this season they are expected once again to be a contender for the title.

As for the Magic, they come into the night with a 3-9 record in their first 12 games.

However, they picked up a surprising win over Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night in Florida.

They held Doncic under his season in averages in points, assists and rebounds.

The team was also playing with 2022 first-overall pick Paolo Banchero, who has also been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns.
