Orlando is going to play in back to back games here, which will be a fatigue issue for the Magic. However, I have not really seen the Thunder play that well at home and while the Magic do not have a strong defense it will be very difficult to see the Magic giving up a ton of points. The Thunder are playing good at points, but after losing to the Magic in the last meeting it will be very difficult to see the Thunder bouncing back well enough to secure the win, but also to do enough offensively to put this game over. With that being the case, I look for this game to be won by the Orlando Magic and go under the total.
