A few years ago, Orlando was competing strongly in the playoffs. That dropped off when Dwight Howard made his exit, as this team has fallen sharply. The Magic enter this game at a paltry 14-37 on the season. Oklahoma City is once again playing without Russell Westbrook, but Kevin Durant has taken his game to another level, and has more than compensated for the loss. The Thunder is rolling at 12-1 in their last 13 games, and seven of their last eight wins have come by 9 points or more. The Magic have shown time and again to be over-matched vs. the powerful West, as they are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 against them. The Thunder roll on, so lay the points and play on Oklahoma City.
