Suns vs. Magic Odds & Betting Predictions - January 28, 2024

Bradley Beal (nasal fracture) is listed as Questionable for this game and this could open up a greater opportunity for Durant in this matchup against the Orlando Magic. Durant has averaged 5.2 assists when playing alongside both Booker and Beal; with Book but without Beal, this spikes to 6.0 per game with a median output of 5.5 in 15 games. The matchup against Orlando is a tougher one; however, Durant is matchup proof. This season with Booker and Beal he dished 5 assists against Orlando, if Beal cannot go, Durant will see even greater Usage. Considering this is the first game of a road back to back, it’s not unreasonable to expect Beal to play in just the second of these games. I’ll buy into Durant’s assists now, I’m comfortable at the 4.5 regardless if Beal plays or not but there’s additional upside if Beal sits.
