The Orlando Magic and Oklahoma City Thunder meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Paycom Center. The Orlando Magic look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Oklahoma City Thunder look to snap a 10-game losing streak.
The Orlando Magic are averaging 104.3 points on 43.4 percent shooting and allowing 112.1 points on 45.8 percent shooting. Cole Anthony is averaging 17 points and 5.5 rebounds, while Franz Wagner is averaging 15.3 points and 4.7 rebounds. Wendell Carter Jr. is the third double-digit scorer and Jalen Suggs is grabbing 3.7 rebounds. The Orlando Magic are shooting 33 percent from beyond the arc and 79 percent from the free throw line.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are averaging 103.1 points on 42.6 percent shooting and allowing 111 points on 45.6 percent shooting. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 24.4 points and 5 rebounds, while Luguentz Dort is averaging 17.2 points and 4.2 rebounds.

The Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Thunder are 2-6-2 ATS in their last 10 home games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The under is 7-3 in Magic last 10 overall. The over is 12-3-1 in Thunder last 16 overall. The Magic are 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Oklahoma City and 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
I don't want to back the Oklahoma City Thunder as much as the next guy, as they've not only lost 10 straight games, but are losing their last five games by an average of 9.2 points. The Orlando Magic are playing the better ball right now. However, the Magic are on the end of a back to back, and they're losing their last five games by an average of 9.8 points. Also, say what you want about OKC, but it is a team that's a profitable 43-25-4 against the spread on the season. You somehow make money betting on the Thunder. With the rest advantage and home court, give me the Thunder and the free bucket.
