The Orlando Magic look for a much-needed win on Tuesday when they host the red-hot Oklahoma City Thunder at the Amway Center at 7 p.m. ET. The Magic have lost six of seven, with five of the losses coming by five points or fewer, and they enter Tuesday four games behind the Charlotte Hornets for the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Thunder, led by the dynamic duo of Paul George and Russell Westbrook, have won five straight and are coming off one of their best performances of the season in a win over the Bucks. Oklahoma City is a four-point favorite and the over-under for total points scored is 222 in the latest Thunder vs. Magic odds. Before you make any Thunder vs. Magic picks, listen to what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, is crushing its NBA picks this season. It enters Week 16 of the 2018-19 NBA season with a sterling 187-136 record on all top-rated picks, returning more than $4,000 to anybody following them. And it has been particularly red-hot on its A-rated NBA picks against the spread recently, entering Week 15 on a blistering 29-14 run. Anybody following it is up huge. 

Now, it has zeroed in on Thunder vs. Magic. We can tell you it's leaning Under, but it's also generated a strong spread pick that hits in well over 50 percent of simulations. That pick is only available at SportsLine. 

The model knows the Thunder are 1.5 games behind the Nuggets for the No. 2 seed in the NBA playoff picture and four games back of the Warriors for the top spot. Paul George and Russell Westbrook continue to emerge as one of the NBA's most dynamic duos, and both came up big Sunday against the Bucks. George scored 36 points and added 13 rebounds. He also punctuated the night with a highlight-reel dunk over Antetokounmpo. Westbrook had 13 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists as he continues to average a triple-double for the season (21.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 10. 7 assists). 

The Thunder are on a 4-1 run against the spread, but there's no guarantee they will cover on Tuesday against a Magic club that has played well at home and competes particularly well against top-tier opposition.

The Magic still have time to turn their recent fortunes around a compete for a playoff spot. The one clear shortcoming has been their performance in the waning moments of tight games, and they have been in a surprisingly high number of them. They are coming off a loss to Houston in which they dominated most of the way, but squandered a 16-point lead down the stretch. 

Still, the Magic lead the league with 30 games decided by five or fewer points in the final two minutes. Accordingly, they are widely considered ahead of projections for a club that won just 25 games last season and wasn't expected to do much better this year.
