The OKC Thunder seek to extend their 3-game win streak as they host fellow tankers the Orlando Magic. TI offers up all the details you'll need for the ...

Week three serves up three matches for the OKC Thunder. And similar to the OKC Thunder they are performing well defensively. However, and perhaps this is a selfish reason, I want the OKC Thunder to get VW (or Scoot Henderson) because SGA deserves to shine and not be forced to have to sit out the later stages of seasons. EST (7:00 CT) from the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. The money line is set at +125 for the Magic and -174 for the Thunder. The Magic have a bunch of guys on their injury report including Jalen Suggs (ankle) and Cole Anthony (oblique) who are questionable. Losing both games on the schedule against Orlando could be the difference in that ping pong ball bouncing in favor of the Thunder. Per usual the game will be broadcast on Bally Sports Oklahoma or NBA League Pass. Yes, he’s projected to shift the future success of a franchise. That means sticking with four of the five guys who played during the win streak. So with that analogy in mind let’s assume Mark Daigneault goes with who has been getting the job done. the Orlando Magic.

The Thunder (3-3) welcome the Magic (1-6) for a Tuesday game.

Jalen Suggs is questionable due to an ankle sprain. Jaylin Williams is out due to a G League assignment. Josh Giddey is out due to an ankle sprain. Thunder: Chet Holmgren is out due to foot surgery. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been one of the best players in the league in the season’s infancy. 2 pick Chet Holmgren [would miss the entire season](https://okcthunderwire.usatoday.com/2022/08/25/thunder-rookie-chet-holmgren-to-miss-entire-22-23-season-following-right-foot-injury/) with a foot injury.

The Orlando Magic is looking for its second win of the season. Could it come on the road against the Oklahoma City Thunder?

- Moe Wagner (OUT - Ankle) That means Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Western Conference Player of the Week, takes center stage for Oklahoma City. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero against No.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stepped to the free throw line late in the fourth quarter, and then came the chants.

We were kind of lifeless defensively in the third quarter, and he was on Wagner, and he tried to get it going.” “I was trying to get more balance in the units, I guess,” Daigneault said. (Poku) was on (Wendell) Carter, who gave us problems for the majority of the game until the stretch run. As we continue to ascend as a team, we’re gonna have to deal with more and more of those things. Daigneault staggered the minutes of Gilgeous-Alexander and Giddey. Gilgeous-Alexander was quick to compliment Banchero, who had 15 points and eight rebounds, but then Gilgeous-Alexander pointed at the reporter who asked the question. (Poku) did a good job of staying in there.” The 24-year-old Canadian guard is carrying himself with a different kind of confidence this season. Poku tied Jeremiah Robinson-Earl for the team-best plus/minus. Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning Western Conference Player of the Week, scored at least 30 points in three of those four wins. SGA was equally tremendous defensively against the Magic. Now he’s shooting a ho-hum 97.5% from the line.

It took a scrappy 14-2 run in the third quarter to turn the tides before a dominant fourth quarter effort sealed the victory.

On the very next possession, Gilgeous-Alexander stole the ball from Wagner at the top of the key and finished off the play with a dunk in transition. Nick: As the Thunder turned the momentum back in its favor in the final minutes of the third quarter, an unsung hero of the 14-2 OKC run was Aleksej Pokuševski, who racked up two points, five rebounds and a blocked shot to go with some helpful facilitating with screens and extra passes. It was a momentum boosting play as the Thunder fought back from as many as 15 points down in the frame. Nick: When Darius Bazley fought over a screen and drew an offensive foul on Bamba, it was the 26th offensive foul the Thunder had drawn through just seven games this season. Nick: Rookie Ousmane Dieng stepped right in off the bench and made a contribution on both ends of the floor. Sparked by the efforts on the defensive end and contributions from players like Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Aleksej Pokuševski, the Thunder walked away from Paycom Center with
