The Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns are trying to claw their way out of seventh place in their respective conferences, but only one will make up some ground when they meet today. Both teams are dealing with injuries, which creates plenty of opportunities to find value in the player prop markets.

My Magic vs. Suns player props today include Paolo Banchero and Collin Gillespie as part of our NBA picks and best bets for Saturday. The Suns are a 1.5-point betting favorite over the Magic, with tipoff from Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix set for 5 p.m. ET (NBA TV).

💰 Best Magic vs. Suns prop bet

The Magic are a -160 favorite to make the NBA Play-In Tournament this season.

Paolo Banchero Under 8.5 rebounds (-120)

The thought process driving this market is that Banchero's rebounds should tick up with Franz Wagner out. However, Banchero's median rebounds over his last 10 games without Wagner is seven.

This number is too high, and Banchero has gone Under it in four straight games when Wagner sits. BetMGM lists this prop at -120, but I would play it up to -130.

BetMGM still offers the only -120 among our best sports betting apps, with DraftKings as short as -130 with just over 90 minutes until tipoff.

Collin Gillespie Under 13.5 points (-110)

Gillespie's line is higher than usual with Devin Booker out and Grayson Allen questionable, but this number is an overreaction. His median points over his last seven games without Booker is just 12.

Additionally, Gillespie has scored 11 or fewer points in five straight games overall, so he hasn’t been trending upward in February. The best widely available odds are -110 at FanDuel, but this bet is playable up to -120.

A couple of the sites with the best sportsbook promos - FanDuel and Caesars - still offer this price, but DraftKings has actually moved Gillespie's total to 14.5 with the Under trading at -122. So if you're reading this with about 90 minutes until the game, that's your best bet on Gillespie.

💡 How I'm betting Magic vs. Suns

My bankroll strategy is to treat one unit as 1 percent of the money I’ve set aside exclusively for sports betting.

I bet to win 1 unit on each of these wagers, as I’m confident directionally in these plays, but the numbers aren’t far off from where I’d price them. If larger edges were available, I would consider risking up to 2.5 units per bet. I allocated 2.3 units for this game because, while I’m confident in these bets, the edges aren’t big enough to warrant a larger investment.

🚀 Magic vs. Suns same-game parlay

This parlay offers solid value because Gillespie mostly takes 3-pointers when Booker is out. If he makes three or four from deep, he has a strong chance of going under 13.5 points. He has cashed this parlay in three of his last seven games without Booker.
