With the 2024–25 season ending in the Oklahoma City Thunder winning their first title, the Orlando Magic enter the offseason as a top contender, focused on building around their core four to chase their first championship.

With a promising young lineup, FanDuel Sportsbook recently listed the Magic as a top-three favorite to win the Eastern Conference and a top-five favorite to win the 2026 NBA Finals at +1200 odds. Ranked ahead of them are the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, New York Knicks, and the Thunder.
