81% of the public fancy the Thunder against the spread, yet the market has remained stationery at the current time. For those dabbling in the Money Line markets, heavy juice is required with the Thunder on the Money Line at -475, which signals a potential bankroll crusher if the Thunder were to fall at home, which in 2015-16 was a more common occurrence than takers would like to expect. The Total Line is currently offered at 203 with 75% of the consensus liking the over. The opening for this market was 204 and fell one point, signaling a reverse lay.

Orlando Magic at Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
In a situation where we see two teams both entering on losing streaks, taking the points seems to be the most viable solution. Orlando and Oklahoma have had some tussles for the ages in the 2015-16 season as both games were settled by a margin of three points in the last two encounters. In fact, one of the contests between Orlando and Oklahoma went to overtime where a combined 275 points were scored. If both teams’ offense get going, this one can be all the makings of a donnybrook with every possession bearing significance. Traditionally, both teams leave the defense at home and rely on their playmakers to catalyze the attack. For OKC, it’s Russell Westbrook. For Orlando, it’s Victor Oladipo. Both of these playmakers can be instrumental in turning the tide of the game and given the fact Oklahoma City has struggled as of late, way too many points to pass up with Orlando looking for a resurgence.
