The Orlando Magic continued to be riddled with injuries. Jalen Suggs will return tonight for the Magic, but so will the Thunders Josh Giddey. Oklahoma City has the clear advantage at the guard position. Shai Gilgeus-Alexander is averaging 31 points and seven assists this season. The Thunder are outscoring the Magic 112.3 to 105.6 per game. Oklahoma City is third in the league in forcing turnovers at 17 per game and Orlando is the second-worst with 12. The Thunder are a top-10 team in possessions per game, 106.3, while the Magic are a bottom-five team, 101.3. The Magic have only covered one game in their last eight road games. I'm on the Thunder.

Oklahoma City isn't following the "Process" because it's playing pretty well on a three-game winning streak and now Josh Giddey has been upgraded from out to questionable, so I'd assume he's playing. The Magic are down a handful of injured guys again and have just one victory.
