ORLANDO MAGIC vs OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
Winning PredictionThis matchup slightly favors the Oklahoma City Thunder because their superior athleticism and ability to score in transition will exploit the Magic's slower pace. If Oklahoma City can push the pace and force the Magic into a high-scoring game, they should be able to dictate the tempo of the game.
