PREVIEW: The Orlando Magic host the Phoenix Suns in non-conference play on Tuesday at 7 p.m. EDT , with both teams fighting for playoff positioning down the stretch. The Suns have regained momentum after a five-game losing streak, winning three of their last four games and holding a 42-33 record in seventh place in the Western Conference , while the Magic have hit a rough patch at the worst possible time, winning just one of their last eight games and sitting eighth in the Eastern Conference with a 39-35 record. Phoenix enters the game ranking second in forcing turnovers and third in offensive rebounding percentage at 30.2 percent, though they struggle with spacing on offense, ranking 24th. Orlando boasts the second-best free throw rate and efficient free throw shooting at 80.6 percent, while defensively limiting three-point attempts allowed, ranking fourth. The Suns bring sixth-ranked defensive efficiency in opponent scoring at 111.1 points per game, a critical advantage when matched against the Magic's more average numbers of 115.7 points scored and 114.8 allowed. The Magic will be without Franz Wagner, who was not given a timetable to return , while Amir Coffey, Haywood Highsmith, Grayson Allen, and Mark Williams are questionable for Phoenix. The teams meet for the second time this season, with the Suns winning the last matchup 113-110 in overtime on February 21 . Both squads need wins to maintain their playoff positioning, setting the stage for a tightly contested matchup where defensive execution and shooting efficiency could prove decisive.
