In the nine-point loss to New York, Orlando had its fair share of struggles putting the ball in the hoop, and only two players reached double figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moritz Wagner scored a team-high 32 points off the bench and grabbed six rebounds. He shot 10-for-15 from the floor and 4-for-7 from beyond the arc. Tristan da Silva added 20 points, including two 3-pointers. The Magic shot 41.9 percent from the field overall and converted just nine of their 30 attempts from 3-point range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Moritz Wagner vs Knicks 32 pts 6 reb 2 stl | Dec 15, 2024 | Regular Season\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/89WG4R8P4Tg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nuggets-seek-to-continue-recent-success\">Thunder Seek Redemption After NBA Cup Title Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As was the case last season, the Thunder are one of the top teams in the Western Conference. They had won five straight games before their 97-81 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Cup title game. Three of the team&#8217;s starters scored in double figures, headlined by a 21-point effort from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jalen Willams added 18 points,  four rebounds, three assists and two steals. Isaiah Hartenstein produced a double-double that included 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Thunder trailed 51-50 at the break but came out flat in the second half, as they were outscored 46-31, including 26-14 in the third quarter. In addition to converting only 42 percent of its shot attempts, Oklahoma City was outscored by a 51-15 margin from long range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cavaliers-vs-nuggets-prediction-cavaliers-win-a-close-one\">Magic vs Thunder Prediction: OKC Gets The &#8220;W&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Magic have the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference and are a top-three team from a defensive standpoint. However, they have gone 2-4 across their last six games after a 15-7 start. Meanwhile, the Thunder have gone 9-1 in their previous 10 outings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This group is a top-10 squad from a scoring standpoint and boasts the top defense in the association. They are limiting opponents to 42 percent shooting overall and 33.1 percent from 3-point range. Both marks are tops in the league. Given these trends, look for OKC to stay hot. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the games on tap from Thursday night\u2019s&nbsp;NBA&nbsp;slate features the Orlando Magic squaring off against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
