The Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Orlando Magic in their fifth game of the NBA 2020-21 season. The Orlando Magic saw their undefeated start to the season come to an end at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers the last time around.
On the other hand, the Oklahoma City Thunder have also registered just one win in their four NBA matchups thus far. They take on the Orlando Magic for the second time in three games and are coming off an 11-point loss in a game where Nikola Vucevic went for 28 points.
This time around, they take on an Orlando Magic team that is missing multiple starters and bench players, and will be looking for revenge.
