The Oklahoma City Thunder will continue their season after an off day on Sunday, the Thunder return home to the Paycom Center and look to remain unbeaten after their franchse-best 6-0 start. The Magic limp into this contest on the second night of a back-to-back without their franchise star Paolo Bachero who is sidelined for an extended period of time due to injury.

The Magic are on the second night of a back to back after stumbling against the Dallas Mavericks, 108-85. This marks third straight loss for Orlando who is trying to find their footing without Banchero.

Oklahoma City is still looking to click offensively with stretches of game featuring laboring scoring efforts and the Magic remain a solid defensive team being able to lean on the front court combined with the likes of Jalen Suggs and Anthony Black outside.
