Orlando Magic Prepare to Face Undefeated Thunder

The Orlando Magic face off against the undefeated Oklahoma City Thunder after a tough road trip that has seen them lose three straight games, including a blowout against the Dallas Mavericks. Orlando's star forward, Paolo Banchero, is out indefinitely due to a torn oblique, which has significantly impacted the team's performance, dropping them to 3-4 for the season. Meanwhile, the Thunder are enjoying a perfect 6-0 start, having recently secured a comeback victory against the LA Clippers. Both teams will be missing key players, with the Magic also potentially without Wendell Carter Jr. due to injury. The tipoff for the game is set for 9:15 p.m. ET at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. The Magic will need to overcome their injury challenges to avoid a fourth consecutive loss.
