Oklahoma City are one win away from reaching 40 victories, and their home form makes them extremely difficult to challenge. Orlando have shown resilience, but injuries and inconsistent road performances remain concerns.
If Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is cleared to play, the Thunder are expected to control the tempo and pull away late. Orlando will need a big night from Paolo Banchero and improved perimeter defense to keep the game close.
