Oklahoma City Thunder vs Orlando Magic prediction
The Oklahoma City Thunder are the rightful favorite as they’ve been more consistent this season, and they’ve won 7 of the last 10 meetings against the Magic. However, we’re getting the Magic as home underdogs. The Magic are 17-7 SU at home, and they’re 35-18 ATS on the season. No team in the NBA has covered more games than the Magic this season. While the Thunder are great and have been a consistent back for me this season, the value is with the Magic at home and the free bucket.
