00:03 OKC, Davis' squad matching up against the Orlando Magic.
00:07 If we see the opening number here at the Pandu Sportsbook,
00:09 that was listed at -2.5 as a road favorite for OKC.
00:13 We still see that shaping up as the current numbers coming up at a -2.5.
00:18 Total in this game, a lot of movement here.
00:20 227.5 at the opening number, Davis.
00:23 We're now down to 223.5.
00:25 OKC on the road.
00:27 Can they get this dub as a slight road favorite here?
00:30 >> Yeah, I think they probably do.
00:34 I mean, the Magic are sort of an interesting matchup for them because
00:39 the Magic are such a good defensive team.
00:41 To the detriment of their offensive abilities,
00:44 they play plus defenders at pretty much every position other than Paulo Banqueiro.
00:48 I think that Shea might have a little bit of a difficult time tonight.
00:51 This is probably more of a game where we see Chet Holmgren and
00:56 big Jalen Williams be more of the offensive drivers.
00:59 I actually think we'll see a little bit of Chet handling the ball on the perimeter
01:03 tonight just to get Banqueiro away from the rim, put him in some uncomfortable positions.
01:09 No team was I more disappointed at in the trade deadline than the Orlando Magic.
01:13 To have, just for the Magic to have some hope, the Magic to look at the standings,
01:18 say, look, we could be a playing team.
01:20 We could be the seven seed.
01:21 We could, there's no reason why we can't be in that spot.
01:24 But what's the number one thing holding them back?
01:27 Dude, they just do not have any guards.
01:28 Like none of their guards can shoot, Suggs, Anthony, Fults.
01:32 It's just all a mess in terms of their ball handling.
01:35 Very hard as a young team.
01:38 This would have been a great team for just one of these veteran 32 year old point
01:42 guards like obviously the Timberwolves are not trading Mike Conley.
01:45 But a Mike Conley type would just get everything running so
01:49 much better for the Magic.
01:51 And I would lean under here.
01:53 Actually, I know the total even fell four points.
01:55 I think the opening bettors were right.
01:57 Because Oklahoma City tends to play a little bit more conservatively.
02:00 They slower their tempo when they're on the road.
02:03 And the Magic, their best chance to win this game is to get it in the mud.
02:07 So I think that's probably what they're gonna try and do.
