Bet on Thunder vs. Magic

Two struggling teams here, but only the Thunder were expected to be a lot better than this. Orlando should be a good get-right opportunity at a team that has lost nine games in a row, but OKC should have also won handily at Dallas according to oddsmakers and instead lost by 16. The Magic would love to end this losing skid and they should at least be able to keep tonight's game within the number.
