The Oklahoma City Thunder and Orlando Magic are just hours away from going toe-to-toe in the regular season, with the NBA Cup behind them. The Thunder lost to the Bucks on Tuesday, in a game that does not count in the regular season standings, while the Magic have not played since Sunday's loss to the New York Knicks.

This afternoon, each team issued a fresh injury report including an important piece receiving a downgrade for Orlando.

Updated Injury Report:

Oklahoma City Thunder:

  • Alex Ducas (GL) OUT
  • Adam Flagler (GL) OUT
  • Chet Holmgren (Hip) OUT
  • Jaylin Williams (Hamstring) OUT
  • Nikola Topic (ACL) OUT

Orlando Magic:

  • Paolo Banchero (Right Oblique) OUT
  • Franz Wagner (Right Oblique) OUT
  • Gary Harris (Hamstring) OUT
  • Mac McClung (GL) OUT

Updated Betting Odds:

The Oklahoma 'City Thunder opened up as a seven point favorite this morning over the Orlando Magic according to FanDuel. That line is now down to the Thunder favored by six and a half points in Orlando on National Television.

The Thunder are fresh off a beat down issued by the Bucks on Tuesday - which does not count in the standings but down count on taxing Oklahoma City who now play three games in four nights skipping a trio of time zones.

Oklahoma City has to avoid coming out flat and has to shoot better than it did on Tuesday to get a win over a scrappy Magic squad capable of winning without its stars.
