Albeit the Magic dropped two straight at home versus the Utah Jazz and Toronto Raptors last week, the team around Dwight Howard managed to bounce back with two wins of their own three days later. Thus, the Orlando Magic are hoping to extend their two-game winning streak when they host Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns on Friday at 1 a.m. GMT.

After struggling in the first week of regular season play, the Suns elevate their level of play and climbed from a 1-3 record to the second place in the Pacific Division with five wins in six games. Especially Phoenix' win versus the L.A. Lakers demonstrated that Steve Nash and company can compete with anyone in the league on a good night. Likewise, Steve Nash has been playing excellent basketball at the offensive end of the floor and recorded 20.0 points, 9.9 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game so far. Taking these circumstances into consideration, NBA fans can look forward to an entertaining basketball game between two of the better teams in the league on Friday night.

5th November 2009

While many criticized the payroll cuts of the Phoenix Suns during the off-season, the team certainly surprised their critics as they got off to a great start with three consecutive wins. Thus, Steve Nash and the Suns will travel to Florida to take on the Orlando Magic on Thursday at midnight GMT.

Without any doubts, most experts around the league expected the Orlando Magic to perform extremely well in 2009-10 after further improving their squad over the summer. However, very few anticipated the transition from half-court to up-tempo basketball to go smoothly for the Suns. More precisely, Phoenix traded Shaquille O’Neal to Cleveland to save money and went back to a more offensive minded system with Amar’e Stoudemire as starting center. Yet, everything seems to work out for the franchise from Arizona as they defeated the Clippers, Warriors and Timberwolves while putting up 117 points per game. Especially former MVP Steve Nash has been on fire, averaging 18.7 points and 14.0 assists per game. Likewise, Grant Hill and Channing Frye put up big numbers and helped the Suns to execute offensively.

Similarly, the Orlando Magic performed extremely well so far and remain undefeated at the top of the Eastern Conference. Even with Rashard Lewis suspended for a few games and Vince Carter sidelined with an ankle sprain, the team around Dwight Howard absolutely steamrolled the 76ers, Nets and Raptors in the first week of action. One pleasant surprise has been the impact of Ryan Anderson who put up 17.3 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest. Likewise, the Magic have been spectacular from beyond the arc as they lead the league with 55.6% from three point range. Therefore, the squad of Stan van Gundy will enter their match-up with the Suns as everyone’s favorite to come away with a win at Amway Arena. With Vince Carter possibly back in the lineup and Dwight Howard dominating the paint, Phoenix is about to face a very tough challenge on Thursday night.
