New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Devesh Jaganath | in NBA Predictions
Madison Square Garden will burst into life when the New York Knicks host the Orlando Magic in the NBA on Tuesday. The Knicks (24-12) are third in the Eastern Conference while the Magic (21-16) are fourth in the standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After a nine-match winning streak, the New York Knicks are now aiming to avoid a third straight defeat after losing 139-126 to the Chicago Bulls on the road over the weekend.
While Karl-Anthony Towns put up an impressive 44 points and 16 rebounds, the team collapsed in the third quarter, outscored 41-17, and were unable to make up the deficit in the fourth.
The Knicks are still top-10 on both ends, averaging 117.8 points per game this season (sixth in the league), while allowing 110.7 PPG (10th in the NBA).
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have also been performing below their best lately, conceding their fourth defeat in six after falling to the lowly Utah Jazz 105-92 at home last night.
Jett Howard was the only player to get over 20 points in the defeat, while as a team, Orlando shot a mere 35% from the field and made just 14 of 47 attempts from long range.
The Magic are now the lowest-scoring team in the NBA this season (105.3 PPG), but they are still an elite defence, ranked second overall (103.4 PPG against).

Our New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic Prediction
While this line feels a little hefty given that the Knicks have just lost two on the bounce, they did beat the Magic three times last month and covered the spread in each of those victories.
Additionally, Orlando are struggling with injuries at the moment and it has started to show, as they’ve now lost six of their last 10. With the rest advantage, we feel that the Knicks may be able to get the cover in this match, but we’d probably advise playing this one as a standalone bet for the day. Our New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic prediction is New York Knicks -11.5.
If your team in the New York Knicks and Orlando Magic game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
