“Trade Deadline Shake-Up Key NBA DFS Picks for Thursday, February 6”

The Orlando Magic are looking to keep their momentum rolling after a thrilling 130-111 win against the Sacramento Kings. They’ll need to carry that same intensity and shooting precision into a tough matchup against the Denver Nuggets on the second night of a back-to-back.

The challenge is daunting, as Denver has a strong record against teams on the second night of a back-to-back with a time zone change.

The Nuggets are one of the most potent offenses in the league, ranking third in points per game (121.0) and first in both assists and field goal percentage.

With reigning MVP Nikola Jokić leading the charge, averaging nearly a triple-double, Denver’s offensive efficiency and inside scoring are difficult to match. Orlando will need to play near-perfect basketball to overcome the altitude and the Nuggets’ potent attack.

Key players for Orlando like Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner will need to stay hot. Banchero is coming off a solid performance with 23 points and nine assists against Sacramento, while Wagner has been consistently playing at a high level.

He scored a game-high 31 points against the Kings and has earned praise for his competitive spirit from head coach Jamahl Mosley.

While the Magic’s offense had been shaky early in the season, their impressive shooting performance against Sacramento (56.8% from the floor and 51.6% from three) is a sign of what they’re capable of when they’re firing on all cylinders.

If they can continue that level of execution, they might just have a chance to challenge the Nuggets and end their West Coast road trip on a high note.

This game will also be a test of endurance for Orlando, as they’ll have to adjust to the altitude and stay focused, especially with some key players potentially missing from their lineup. It will be fascinating to see if they can continue their offensive surge and find a way to slow down Denver’s high-powered attack.
