NBA Betting Total:
The New York Knicks and Orlando Magic face off on Sunday in an Eastern Conference NBA showdown at the Amway Center. When these two teams faced off on November 21st it was the Magic that won 104-98.
New York Knicks
The Knicks come into this game with a 34-43 record overall and they have gone 18-21 away from home. The Knicks faced off against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. The Knicks had won four of their last five games heading into the game against the Cavaliers. On Wednesday though, the defense gave up 125 points to the Hornets and that led to the loss.
The Knicks are averaging 106.4 points while their defense is giving up 107 points per game. The Knicks offense has been an issue but overall their defense has been pretty good this year and will need to be the case again in this one.
One problem for this team is that their top scorer Julius Randle is out for the season and not having him really hurts the offense. In this game if the Knicks want to win they are going to need the offense to be good.
Orlando Magic
On the other side of this matchup is the Orlando Magic who sit with a 20-58 record and they have gone 10-28 straight up at home. The Magic’s last game came against the Toronto Raptors, and the offense only managed 89 points in that game as they were defeated.
The Magic are averaging 104 points while their defense is giving up 111.9 points per game. One big issue for this team is they are only shooting 32.9 percent from deep which is 28th in the NBA. They also don’t get to the free throw line enough.
The top player this season for the Magic has been Cole Anthony and he is averaging 16.6 points, 5.8 assists, and 5.4 rebounds per game. Rookie Jalen Suggs is also averaging 12.1 points and 3.1 assists per game.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Knicks are 8-1 ATS in their last nine road games.

- Under is 4-0 in the Knicks last four games on Sunday.
- Knicks are 6-1ATS in their last seven games played on zero days rest.
Free New York Knicks vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction
I just don’t like this Knicks team, especially with the injuries they are dealing with. New York looks like a team that is checked out and doesn’t have a whole lot of interest in playing the rest of the season. The Knicks offense is going to struggle and that will be enough for the Magic to get it done. Back Orlando against the spread.
