Orlando Magic has been able to display signs of grit and hard work even with a tough roster situation. They are positioned fourth in the Eastern Conference however the number of injuries to key players raises suspicions about the sustainability of their results in the near future.
In its last fixture, Orlando lost to Miami by the smallest margin (88–89). The Magic were in control of the game particularly in the first half but struggled with some basic things that ended up letting them lose the game. In any case, their home performances have always been solid. The next fixture against New York promises to be particularly challenging. The rival looks very strong and the solution for the Magic team will be in the dew of its active players.
The NY Knicks seem to be playing exceptionally well this season. At this stage of the competition, the team is third in the Eastern Conference which is a great achievement.
Last time out, New York registered a win over San Antonio (117–114). Mikal Bridges showed that he has the ability to lead the team with a 41 point performance which was a huge win for them. Tom Thibodeau’s bunch is scale firmly pursuing their goals, while the next opponent Orlando is a chance to increase the distance from direct competitor. The guests hope to use the problems with the roster of the Magic to their benefit.
The Knicks look great and believe it is the best time for them to cement their standing in the table. The away side also has a well-balanced team and good-road play which put them at an advantage in the next match. In our view, New York will take advantage of their opponent's weakened squad and make it to their winning skit.
Our prediction: New York to win with a -5 point handicap at odds of 1.70.
