Thunder vs Magic Betting Prediction

Both teams come into this game with below-par lineups depleted with injuries The Thunder have proven in the biggest contests that they can cope without Alexander, beating the Celtics convincingly. They're well-placed to win this one too.

The Magic, meanwhile, clearly can’t perform without Mortiz Wagner and Franz Wagner, putting a lot of the burden on rookie Paolo Banchero. The OKC Thunder should get a good result here.

Thunder: +110
