Game Snapshot

• Matchup: Orlando Magic @ Oklahoma City Thunder
• Date & Time: Tuesday, February 3, 2026, 8:00 PM ET
• Venue: Paycom Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
• Broadcast: NBA League Pass

Key Storylines

• Top-end stars: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is at 32.0 points and 6.4 assists per game for OKC. Orlando’s Paolo Banchero leads the Magic at 21.7 points and 8.8 boards. But SGA is listed as questionable for this game and he could be rested before the Thunder take on the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night in Texas.
• Injuries to monitor: Franz Wagner and Colin Castleton were listed out in the most recent update for Orlando. Alex Caruso, Ajay Mitchell, Jalen Williams and Nikola Topic appeared on OKC’s injury report, with Caruso, Mitchell, and Williams confirmed as out.
• Form guide: Orlando has recent wins over Toronto and Miami but also fell at San Antonio in their last game. OKC has won two of its last three games and they will try to continue their hot streak even if they could be without their top weapon in SGA.
• Scheduling: The Thunder host here, then travel the next night to face the Spurs in a game that is much more important to them in the race for the top seed in the Western Conference. The Thunder are an impressive 21-4 on their home floor this season, but that scheduling could make life tougher than usual on the defending champions.

Head-to-Head & Betting Trends

• This is the first of two regular-season games set between the Magic and Thunder this season.
• OKC is 24-26 against the spread so far this season.
• Orlando is just 19-29 against the spread going into this matchup.
• The Thunder are 25-25 in the over/under market heading into this game.
