Magic vs Thunder Pickswise Expert Predictions

Game Totals Pick
Under 219.5(-110)

This is a total that lines up with how both Orlando and OKC prefer to win: defense first, limit transition, and force opponents into tough attempts. Orlando is one of the better “under teams” stylistically because they can play long stretches where scoring is earned rather than gifted. That doesn’t require elite shooting from either side, it requires physicality and defensive buy-in. Oklahoma City and Orlando typically bring both. If the game can played on such terms, then this becomes a rock fight. That makes the under look very attractive here.

Both sides are going to work and look to play smart basketball when they have the ball on their opponents side of the court. As a result, the game is shortened and that further helps the under to cash. This isn’t a prediction of both teams throwing up a bunch of bricks. It’s a bet that both teams will spend meaningful minutes in half-court, defense-shaped basketball. In that environment, this is a number that can be beaten just by normal stretches of empty possessions and defensive posturing. Not only can the final score come under, it can come in well under the posted number.
