Need this one. We are healthy minus Harris and need to start hitting our stride. We are slight underdogs but with Nurkic and Beal as game time decisions I like our chances.

Our starting lineup will be at full strength, it will come down to the bench getting it's groove back. I think we'll see AB/Cole/Ingles/JI/Moe. Bounce back game from Cole tonight?

No guarantee it’s going to translate to a victory of course, but all things considered Phoenix isn’t a terrible matchup for the Magic as they’re a low 3PT volume team.

So their big 3 is healthy and playing? Ah well.... I think I have better things to do than watch this massacre.

Nurkic is out. Beal is a game time decision and will be wearing a mask if he plays.

Paolo should hypothetically have a great game today, Suns give up the 8th most ppg to PF's. There also is no Nurkic. Hopefully minutes are limited with Fultz. If so expect 30+ pts

He has taken a total of 3 such shots in the 8 games since he came back, so I'd say probably not.

Need to get more out of Franz. 6, 19, 17, 18 over his last 4 isn’t good enough for our 2nd option. Need him to step up and carry more of the load.

Beal is playing.

Shouldn't matter who is playing.

Got to be up for every game in this league.

One of the first shots of the night. That was unexpected.
