The Orlando Magic play the Oklahoma City Thunder Tuesday at Paycom Center

Game time: 8 p.m., Paycom Center, Oklahoma City  

TV: Fan Duel Sports 

Betting line: Magic -6.5

LAST GAME:  

Victor Wembanyama had 25 points and five blocked shots, as San Antonio defeated Orlando, 112-103, at Frost Bank Center. The start time was pushed back twice as the Spurs experienced travel issues due to weather coming back from Charlotte. Devin Vassell scored 16 points for the Spurs, while Dylan Harper added 15 points off the bench. Desmond Bane led the Magic with 25 points and Paolo Banchero tallied 19 points and 10 rebounds. San Antonio shot 50 percent from the floor, and held Orlando to 44 percent. However, the Spurs were 22-of-32 from the free throw line, while the Magic went 13-of-15. Orlando fell behind by 18 points early on, but outscored San Antonio during the second quarter, 40-23, and held a 61-60 halftime edge. The Spurs responded during the third quarter, outscoring the Magic, 26-18, then pulled away late. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren were both named 2026 NBA All-Stars, making OKC one of just two teams in the Western Conference to have multiple All-Star selections this season. SGA is a starter for the third-straight season and this marks the first such honor for Holmgren. The Thunder is one of only five teams to have 20 or more total All-Star appearances since 2009-10.

QUOTABLE

Magic forward Desmond Bane on the latest loss to the San Antonio Spurs: "I just don't think we came out with the right mentality. I said it time and time again. We weren't ready to play. We were a step slow, especially on the defensive end. They were getting whatever they wanted. And then we settled into the rhythm of the game. But you're playing the second-best team in the league. So you can't afford to have moments like that. I talk about our growth and stuff like that, but we had to start putting it into action and being better."
