The Oklahoma City Thunder puts its 8-game win streak on the line on Tuesday night as they kick off a 5-game East Coast road trip in Orlando against the Magic. OKC’s win streak has featured plenty of highlights, with 6 wins against 5 different teams currently in playoff position. Orlando is fresh off a 7-win streak of their own, which was snapped last night in a 124-112 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
OKC has won 8 straight games—a streak which features 6 playoff teams—and they are looking to make it 9 against a surging Orlando squad. The Magic had won 7 in a row before getting crushed at home by the Atlanta Hawks last night. The Thunder benefits from a little more than a full day of rest after Sunday’s noon tip-off, so between that and the roster nearing full health, I like OKC to win big.

OKC is 1-2 against Minnesota this season, and the Thunder hasn’t covered in any of those three games. These two teams know each other VERY WELL, and as a result, it’s created a lot of close meetings over the last couple of seasons. 5 of the last 7 regular-season games between the Thunder and the Timberwolves have been decided by single digits, and I think this one will be the same. One thing to keep an eye on: Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable with knee soreness, but I anticipate that he plays. If he has to miss, the Timberwolves could struggle to stay afloat. Isaiah Hartenstein is questionable as well, and while I don’t think he plays, he would help the Thunder out tremendously down low. While I’m taking the Thunder to win, I like Minnesota to cover.
