The Thunder picked up a win in their first game under new head coach Billy Donovan with a come from behind victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Now they head down to the state where Donovan won a pair of national titles as head coach at Florida.

It wasn’t long ago that Donovan nearly became head coach of the Magic. Instead, the Magic are on their fourth head coach since being spurned by the new Thunder bench boss. Scott Skiles is that man, and the team failed to get a win in his first game, falling to the Washington Wizards 88-87 on Wednesday.
Oklahoma City Thunder:
Kevin Durant managed 22 points in the Thunder’s opener against the Spurs, but he did it on an unimpressive 6-of-19 shooting. Russell Westbrook carried the team with 33 points, including a critical three-pointer down the stretch. Big man Enes Kanter, who many wondered why the team even brought back, racked up 15 points and 16 rebounds off the bench.

Kanter was used in a rotation with starter Steven Adams in the opener, with coach Donovan using Kanter in offensive situations, and Adams helping in situations where he was called on to lock an opposing big down defensively.
Orlando Magic:
A goaltending call that could have gone either way was what did in the Magic in their opener, but that was hardly reason the team lost. However, point guard Elfird Payton wasn’t one of the reasons. He was two assists shy of a triple-double, posting 11 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists.

The Magic can be expected to exhibit a stronger defensive presence under coach Skiles, who always leans on his team at that end of the court. The team limited the Wizards to 39.3 percent shooting from the field in their opener.

Free NBA Prediction:
The Thunder have had trouble building and maintaining margins against the Magic, and while Orlando comes in without a victory they should give Oklahoma City a decent test.

The Thunder certainly know how to score the basketball, but the Magic are a sneaky good defensive squad and are capable of at least slowing them for a good bit of time in this game.
