The Magic are third in the league, allowing 109.5 points per game, and are ranked last in the league, scoring 11 three-pointers per game.

Betting Trends

Orlando has won 4 of the last 5 games against New York. The Magic are 5-0 SU in the last five games overall, 4-1 SU in the last five games on the road and 8-1 SU in the last 9 games against teams from the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are 3-8 SU in the last 11 games overall, 5-2 in the last 7 games played on Friday and 11-4 SU in the last 15 games against teams from the Southeast Division.

Prediction and Conclusion

Both teams are having a promising season. The Magic are on pace to be back in the playoffs for the first time since 2020. They have a young team, with Banchero and the Wagner brothers playing excellently, and the team is currently on a five-game winning streak. The Knicks have also exceeded expectations this season, but they have had no luck with injuries. Mitchell Robinson is out for the season; Julius Randle has missed more than a month; OJ Anunoby will be back in a couple of weeks; and Jalen Brunson is questionable for tonight after he missed the last two games. Orlando has won the last four games against New York, and with the Knicks injury list, Magic will keep the winning streak alive.
