Thunder at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 117, Magic 115

Moneyline

LEAN THUNDER (-136).

Oklahoma City has won in 3 of its last 4 matchups vs. Orlando and 7 of the last 10 meetings. Oklahoma City is a top-5 offensive team (120.7 points per game), and while Orlando's defense is top-5 in the league (110.8 points allowed per game), the Magic's shortcomings offensively will help the Thunder win in the clutch.

This is a very slight lean because the Magic are the hotter team right now and because the Magic have been a very good home team this season, while the Thunder have been cold on the road lately.

Against the spread

LEAN MAGIC +2.5 (-110).

Orlando has covered the spread in back-to-back games and is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 games. The Magic are also 2-1 in their last 3 home games vs. OKC. This is only a lean because both teams have been very good ATS this season and also because the Thunder have been better ATS in recent matchups vs. Orlando.

Over/Under

BET OVER 225 (-110).

The Over has hit in 3 consecutive games for the Magic and is 7-3 in their last 10 outings. For OKC, the Over is 31-22 on the season and has hit in 5 consecutive games. The Over has also hit in 3 of the last 4 Thunder-Magic meetings.
