The current betting odds have the Thunder listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Thunder were one of the worst teams in the NBA last season but they are off to a bit of a hot start this year at 3-3. They have been upsetting some teams in their first few games while the Magic still only have 1 win this season. The Magic have kept a few of their games closer in score but they have also been blown out a few times as well. The Magic have a lot of young players and they are still learning to play together with their new rookie Banchero while the Thunder also have a lot of young players but they were playing very well together near the end of last season and they are starting to become a very good team. The Thunder have started the season playing much better than the Magic in their games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.

“We fouled a lot down the stretch, but at the same time, we stuck to the game plan, which was to make Luka grind for all of his buckets. We gave ourselves a chance down the stretch, but I felt like we just had some mental lapses, especially on the defensive end, and sometimes on the offensive end we were a little too stagnant.” - Wendell Carter Jr. after their loss against the Mavericks on Sunday.

 

 

“Good poise, obviously. It’s hard to win that game. A lot has to go your way. A lot went our way that we couldn’t control, but I felt we controlled what we could, and that’s what put us in a position to keep closing that gap.” - Mark Daigneault after his team’s win against the Mavericks on Saturday.
