The Suns average 112.9 points but only allow 111.1 points per game. Given the Suns’ strong defense, taking the Suns +2.5 could be a smart pick.

The over/under is set at 224.5 points. The Suns’ games typically have a lower combined score due to their defense, while the Magic’s games average higher scores. The total projected score might be close to the line, but the Suns’ defensive stats suggest considering the under 224.5.
