I went 1-1 in the NBA last night, and despite having a ton of games on the schedule, I only played those two games.
asserted
I → go → games
It has been a very good season so far, betting-wise, and I want to keep that going as long as possible.
asserted
I → want → that
There are only two games on the schedule tonight, before we once again get a packed slate tomorrow.
asserted
we → be → slate
I've got one game picked out, and I think we have a good edge on the game between the Magic and the Suns.
asserted
we → get → Magic
The Orlando Magic changed their coach, but it seems like their problems have not.
asserted
problems → change → coach
The team is inconsistent on offense, and injuries are keeping them from finding any realistic level of consistency.
asserted
injuries → keep → consistency
If you are missing two of your top six players, it will be difficult no matter what team you are.
asserted
you → miss → players
The Magic are 2-5 for the season, with both wins coming on the road.
asserted
wins → come → road
They were one of only a few teams that didn't play last night, so they do have a rest advantage.
asserted
they → play → advantage
That doesn't mean they will win, and I actually think this could be a slow start for them.
uncertain
this → mean → them
It really doesn't get much better in the first half overall.
asserted
It → get → half
They are averaging 54.4 points per game in the first half.
asserted
They → average → half
Desmond Bane and Franz Wagner are the two main scorers for the squad, but the team really doesn't have a great facilitating guard.
asserted
team → have → guard
I'd prefer Jevon Carter in there to help make the offense work a bit more.
asserted
offense → prefer → Carter
The Phoenix Suns didn't really change much in the offseason.
asserted
Suns → change → offseason
They have stumbled out of the gate, and there really isn't much help coming from the injured list.
asserted
They → stumble → list
They have Robert Williams, who will make a bit of a difference, but he isn't going to make the offense that much better.
asserted
offense → have → difference
He should help with the defense, however.
asserted
He → help → defense
Overall, the team is just 1-5 for the season, and they lost once again last night.
asserted
they → lose → season
They are still led by Devin Booker, who has to be either the most loyal guy in the world or maybe the most frustrated.
asserted
who → lead → world
Booker has been elite basically since he walked into the league, and they've occasionally had good teams and players.
asserted
they → walk → teams
However, we always hear about how Steph Curry had years wasted by the Warriors; the same is happening with Booker and the Suns.
asserted
same → hear → Booker
Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and Miles Bridges aren't going to combine to be a championship squad, but they can at least be competitive enough to get them into the postseason.
asserted
they → go → postseason
A lot of this has to do with the rotations.
asserted
lot → have → rotations
Neither of these teams plays all that fast, and I think the first half will have the Suns conserving energy.
asserted
Suns → play → energy
I also believe the Magic will be a bit rusty, having their first game on the road and not playing for a couple of days.
asserted
Magic → believe → days
I'll back under 114.5 in the first half.
asserted
I → back → half
I do think the Suns will win this game, but I'm not backing either side.
asserted
I → think → side
I have them very close in my power rankings.
asserted
them → have → rankings
