The Orlando Magic seek a return to winning ways when they welcome the OKC Thunder next in the NBA. They enter this game as the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, whereas the Thunder are the top seed in the West. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Magic saw a seven-match winning run come to an end as they played the Hawks last time out. Facing another in-form side on the first night of a no-rest schedule, Jamahl Mosley’s men were outscored 124-112 in Atlanta.
They have now lost 29 matches but remain above .500 with 38 victories. Another setback, though, could see the Magic drop into the play-in places, as they are just 0.5 games above the playoff preliminaries.
The OKC Thunder have won the last five meetings with the Magic. They won the first meeting of the season, 128-92 at home. With their current hot streak, they arrive as firm favorites to win.
The Thunder have won eight games in a row. It is the third time this season that Mike Daigenault’s men have won at least as many games in a row. They hold the best winning run this term with 16 consecutive wins.
The Thunder have been the best team in the NBA this term and have compiled the best record across both conferences with 53 wins in 68 outings.
Already assured of the postseason, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 116-103 to end a four-game homestand.
