The Phoenix Suns Look to Step it Up Against The Orlando Magic
The Phoenix Suns Look to Step it Up Against The Orlando MagicThe Phoenix Suns are looking to recover after a beat down at the hands of the Nuggets. That might be toomuch to ask for as they host the surging Orlando Magic.


Betting on basketball is easy at BetPhoenix. BetPhoenix is one of the best online sportsbooks when it comes to betting on the NBA.

Even on a good night, the Suns have their hands full with the Denver Nuggets. And any way you look at it, Thursday wasn't a good night for Phoenix.

Looking to go five games over .500 for the first time and creep within a half-game of Memphis for the final playoff spot, the Suns started bad and got worse in a 116-97 drubbing that left them looking old and slow against the NBA's top scoring team.

If only it was that easy. With Channing Frye out, Steve Nash hurting badly and the rest of the Phoenix starters struggling, Phoenix has little margin for error if it hopes to creep into the playoffs. Marcin Gortat (14 points, 18 rebounds) was a bright spot, but that help was limited.

The Suns had 14 of their 18 turnovers in the first half, and Denver turned those miscues into 24 points. The last two were especially embarrassing, both on bad passes by Hakim Warrick on consecutive possessions in the final 6.1 seconds of the half. Both turned into two points by Nene, who needed just 26 minutes to score 22 points.

The Suns should have a lot of motivation for Sunday's nationally televised game with Orlando. It's the first meeting since January's blockbuster trade and the first visit by Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Earl Clark since they were dealt for Gortat, Vince Carter and Mickael Pietrus.

The Suns Will Catch the Magic on the end of a road trip and respond with a big victory.

Play on the Phoenix
