The New York Knicks are on their way to Florida to face the rising Orlando Magic.

Before Betting on the Knicks vs. Magic

The NYK had four games at home, winning just two, and losing twice following the overtime. Both losses came against teams from Los Angeles, and the wins were over the Heat and the most recent vs. the Philadelphia 76ers, 108-97.

In that one, the Knicks erased a 21-point deficit to flip the result against one of the biggest title contenders. Julius Randle had 24 points, nine boards, and seven assists, while Jalen Brunson scored 21. Evan Fournier hit five threes off the bench for 17 buckets.

Meanwhile, the Magic are excellent after the New Year, winning most of their events and posting three contests in the past four. Just to say, all four were away from Florida, and we saw one improving unit. 

The most recent two wins were in Minneapolis, 127-120, and in Charlotte, 119-113. Against the Hornets, Banchero and the boys showed solid composure in the key moments. The top pick from this year’s draft had 22 points and 10 boards, Wendell Carter Jr. had 20 and 12 rebounds, while Markelle Fultz scored 16.

The franchise from New York is very unstable, and their results in the recent past are clear proof. Also, they are far weaker on the road than at home, while Magic, on the other side, has a certain consistency lately and use their home-court edge well. That’s why we bet on their win here.
