Analyzing past games data reveals that the Suns have been struggling with consistency. In their last three games, they've recorded one win and two losses. Despite this wavering performance, there are positive signs in their play that could spell success in Orlando.


The team's offensive capabilities were on full display against the Mavericks where they scored 114 points but ultimately fell short due to defensive lapses allowing 128 points. Their scoring was balanced with significant contributions from both starters and bench players, indicating depth in their roster.


In Sacramento against the Kings, Phoenix managed to put up 105 points but again faced challenges on defense conceding 120 points. The trend continued as they displayed offensive prowess by scoring over a hundred points yet again but struggled to contain their opponents' scorers.


Their sole win came against Portland Trail Blazers where they edged out a close victory with a score of 104-109. This game showcased better defensive efforts paired with efficient scoring which will be crucial if they aim to overcome Orlando Magic at home.


The key takeaway for Phoenix is maintaining strong defense while capitalizing on their ability to score consistently high numbers. With an average of over 100 points per game in these past performances, offense isn't a concern; however tightening up defensively could turn close losses into wins.


Fans can catch this exciting encounter live on BSFL or AZFamily networks as both teams vie for victory at Kia Center on January 28th at 6:00 PM EST (23:00 UTC).
