The Oklahoma City Thunder play the Orlando Magic and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.
The game tips off at 7 p.m. and can be seen on FOX Sports Oklahoma.
The Thunder are 1-1 on the season and both games have been decided by last-second shots. On Saturday, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit a long 2 with 1.4 seconds left to lift Oklahoma City over the Charlotte Hornets. On Monday, Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell hit a runner with seven seconds left to give Utah a one-point lead, and Gilgeous-Alexander was unable to answer for another win.
The Magic, meanwhile, are one of four 3-0 teams in the league. They had an impressive opening night victory against the Miami Heat and then beat the Washington Wizards in back-to-back games.

How to watch: Thunder vs. Magic
Advice and prediction
In all honesty, this is a game I wouldn’t feel comfortable betting on. The Thunder have impressed in their first two games, beating one playoff hopeful and taking a perennial postseason team to the wire. Meanwhile, the Magic beat the reigning Eastern Conference Champions and another playoff hopeful, though Russell Westbrook did sit out the second game.
Oklahoma City proved me wrong last game by easily covering the spread, so I’ll take them to do the same here. With the defense and 3-point shooting the team has displayed, there’s real reason to think they can give the Magic their first loss of the season.
I’m also taking the over. Oklahoma City put up 109 against the Jazz and the Magic have averaged 121 points per game. That’s a bet I feel better about than whether the Thunder will cover the spread, though as you’re about to see, I’m also predicting they’ll win:
Prediction: Thunder 114, Magic 110
