Thunder vs Magic preview: 4 factors for OKC to get back in playoff hunt

Back on November 29th, the Thunder traveled out to Orlando in the midst of a 2 game losing skid. They pushed that streak even further to 3 as they were toppled by the Magic 121-108, at one point trailing in the 4th by 20. Magic forward Aaron Gordon dropped a career high 40 points and Russell Westbrook scored 37 in the Thunder loss.

Fast forward to almost 3 months later, and the two teams are largely the same as last time. The Magic sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and are well out of a playoff picture, and the Thunder are still trying to figure out where they fit in the Western Conference playoff picture.
