The NBA regular season resumes with the Orlando Magic facing the Oklahoma City Thunder, broadcast live on TNT. This matchup comes after the Thunder's recent loss in the NBA Cup final to the Milwaukee Bucks, who also eliminated the Magic from that competition.

Both teams are dealing with significant injuries, particularly the Magic, who will be without key players Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Meanwhile, the Thunder are missing Chet Holmgren and others as they prepare for a challenging back-to-back schedule.
