Phoenix Suns vs Orlando Magic Key Matchups

Kevin Durant vs Everybody

The Magic will likely throw multiple defenders at Durant all game long. They have length at nearly every position, meaning multiple players can use their reach to disrupt Durant’s lethal shooting. Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Anthony Black could get a lot of time with the defensive assignment of slowing down one of the greatest scorers ever.

Jalen Suggs vs Devin Booker

Suggs will spend a lot of energy chasing Booker around the floor. He will need a solid defensive performance to slow down one of the best scorers in the game. Orlando will also need Suggs to contribute on the offensive end to keep up with the high-scoring Suns.

Suggs scored double figures in all eight of the nine-game winning streak.
