The Orlando Magic clinched a 113-98 triumph against the Phoenix Suns, despite Devin Booker’s remarkable 44-point showcase. Paolo Banchero spearheaded the Magic’s offensive charge with an impressive 26 points, complemented by Moritz Wagner‘s impactful double-double performance, tallying 16 points and securing 12 rebounds.

Markelle Fultz made valuable contributions on both ends of the court, notching 14 points and showcasing his defensive prowess with five steals.

Mayweather smartly capitalized on this victory and posted a screenshot of his bet on his Instagram Story. He invested $100k on the Orlando Magic, and withdrew a total of $201000, as per the screenshot.
