Prediction
Thunder 119, Magic 102
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the Thunder (-750) to remain undefeated Monday.
Against the spread
BET THUNDER -12.5 (-105).
Orlando has failed to cover in 5 straight games overall, including 4 road games and 2 as an underdog. Orlando has looked lost and has not won a game since Banchero went down with an oblique injury.
Oklahoma City has covered in 5 of its 6 games this season and won all 6 by 12 or more points.
Over/Under
BET OVER 215.5 (-110).
The Magic have hit the Over in 5 of their 7 games this season while allowing 115 or more points in 3 of their last 5.
The Thunder have hit the Over in 2 of their last 4 games while scoring 114 or more points in 3 of their last 5. Oklahoma City will need to carry the load in this matchup, which it is more than equipped to do.
