Prediction:
The Thunder have really turned the corner since the win at Philadelphia. They are playing great on offense right now, averaging over 120 points during this win streak. Orlando doesn’t have that offense to compete with the Thunder if they get rolling. The Magic have scored under 100 points in their last two games.
