Orlando Magic Team News
The young Orlando Magic team is still looking, but their game is promising even though they have quite a few injury problems. But the team that is rebuilding, slowly surely gets the right outlines of the game, but also a leader who will lead them in the future.
The Magic were not lucky in the drafts with Bamba and Isaac, who have big problems with injuries, but in the last three years, they have chosen great names in the Draft.
After Cole Anthony, Suggs, and Franz Wagner this year, they picked up the first pick in the Draft, Paolo Banchero, as the Magic’s full hit this season. Banchero and Franz Wagner have a great collaboration and are ready in the future to be one of the best duos in the league and to lead Orlando to the top.
The Magic are a team that has huge offensive potential, they play for a large number of points, but they are struggling with injuries to the main players. Banchero, who has problems with his ankle, is also a question mark for this match.
Phoenix Team News
The team led by the great Monty Williams entered this season very strong and they are currently 8-3 and share the first place in the West.
The Suns did not change much this year, but they brought reinforcements that will bring width to this roster. Josh Okogie, Damion Lee, and Jock Lanadle. The former Partizan center is playing great at the season opener, averaging 15 points for the Suns.
In the last match, they beat the Wolves away and scored 130 points. A lot of them were disturbed by the injury of Cam Johnson, who injured the knee ligaments and will be absent for a good part of the season.
However, the main option for the Suns is the trio of Paul-Booker-Ayton, who will lead the team from Arizona to the top of the Western Conference this season. The Suns have a lot of width in both directions. Without Johnson, the defense will be much weaker. Mikal Bridges, who has been one of the best defenders in the league for the last couple of years, is holding the defense alongside Paul.
The Suns play attacking basketball, with many three-point shots, in the previous 2 matches they shot three-pointers, over 40 times.
