Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Orlando Magic Basketball Preview - 12-19-2024
Two of the NBA's brightest young teams square off against each other Thursday evening when Oklahoma City Thunder travel to Kia Center in Orlando to face Orlando Magic. Oklahoma City has been one of the best defensive teams this season while also managing to keep scoring levels to within acceptable boundaries.
The Thunder are 26-11 overall and boast a 15-5 home record, having won three straight games before facing off against struggling Magic. While their last 10 contests saw just five victories and significant struggles at both ends of the court during each loss (Cleveland Cavaliers defeated 120-109 last game)
Oklahoma City is an impressive team with some outstanding talent on their roster that can score plenty of points and has one of the lowest opponent scoring averages in the NBA at only 107 per game, according to ESPN stats.
The Magic are struggling on offense right now, with shooting issues impacting them severely. Averaging only 45.7 points per game on average and failing to find their groove on the road (losing three in a row), they face an uphill climb against Thunder without some strong offensive performances from them.
