Magic vs Thunder Prediction

The current betting odds have the Thunder listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Thunder have looked great in their games this season with their 39-11 record overall which has them right at the top of the West with the best record in the entire NBA. They have looked great on their home court too with their 21-4 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Magic have looked good in their games this season with their 25-23 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They haven't been a great road team though with their 10-13 road record this year. The Magic have been really up and down all season as they have been dealing with some injuries, but they definitely haven't been at their best lately. They were starting to get hot as they were beating up on bad opponents, but now they are off another loss to the Spurs in their last one and they are also 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Thunder have been rolling all year as the defending champions of the league and the team with the best record again this season. They were on a historic pace to start the season and have cooled off since that hot start, not playing at their best lately, but they have still consistently been one of the best teams in the NBA all year. They haven't looked bad lately either, going 6-4 in their last 10 games, and they just bounced back with a big road win over the Nuggets in their last one too. The Magic have been too up and down this season to really pose a threat to the Thunder here, especially since the Thunder have looked like a completely different team at home. Look for the Thunder to continue rolling at home against an inconsistent Magic team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


“I thought they were the more physical team, the more aggressive team to start the game. They played desperate. They played with a sense of urgency to start the game out. We kind of tried to get ourselves walking into the game. That’s not the way you can play against a team like this. Their record is what it is for a reason.” - Jamahl Mosley after his team’s loss against the Spurs in their game on Sunday.


"We were just sharper all the way around. We had an up-and-down stretch that happened to fall in a condensed part of the schedule. We're not one to overreact to that and there's very little reaction to last game tonight. We just wanted to see where we were and let the guys respond. We came out, we were sharper. I thought we were fresher and way more like ourselves." - Mark Daigneault after his team’s win against the Nuggets in their game on Sunday.
