Orlando Magic

Thunder vs Magic Pickswise Expert Predictions

Game Totals Pick
Over 222.5(-110)

The Orlando Magic will be playing the second leg of a back-to-back situation when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. Orlando had won 7 games in a row before losing at Atlanta 124-112 on Monday. The Magic have been rolling offensively and fatigue often becomes more of a factor on the defensive end of the floor, so my Thunder vs Magic pick is Over 222.5. Orlando had scored at least 121 points in 4 consecutive contests prior to Monday’s setback against the Hawks — a game that still soared over the total. Four different players have led the Magic in scoring over the past 7 games. Paolo Banchero (22.3 ppg) has scored 25 points or more in 4 of the last 6.

OKC is the best defensive outfit in the Western Conference, but it has held only 2 of its last 11 opponents under the 100-point mark. It’s not like the defending champions are completely shutting teams down. At the other end of the court, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 35 points in 2 of the last 3 games and has dished out at least 9 assists in 3 straight. SGA is 7-for-16 from deep in those 3 contests. The over is 5-0 in Orlando’s last 5 overall. Look for that trend to continue.

Thunder vs Magic prediction: Over 222.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
