Quick Rundown

The Phoenix Suns enter Thursday having lost their last three games in a row, though a tasty matchup is on deck to get them back on track. The Orlando Magic (28-41, losers of their last 4-of-5) are set to take the court at the Footprint Center. 

The Magic are led by Rookie of the Year candidate Paolo Banchero, who is averaging 20.1 points per game with 6.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists. Franz Wagner (18.7) and Wendell Carter Jr. (15.3) are other Orlando top scorers as well. 

In their previous matchup, Phoenix lost to Orlando 114-97 back in November. Cameron Payne led all scorers with 22 points that night. 

The Suns are allowing 111.4 points per night, good enough for fourth in the NBA. 

ESPN's NBA analytics gives the Suns a 66% chance to win tonight.
