Orlando Magic vs New York Knicks Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
Friday in the Association sees Orlando hosting New York at the Kia Center. The Magic come into this contest sitting fourth at 19-13 and fifth in the Eastern Conference, while the Knicks are in third-place with a 20-10 record.
The Magic come into this contest following a heartbreaking 89-88 loss to in-state rivals Miami last night. Tyler Herro hit the game-winning shot with 00.5 seconds remaining to snap the Magic out of a two-game winning streak and mark their sixth loss in their last 10 games overall.
Orlando relies on its elite defense to keep them competitive, even more so now that their two top scorers have been out injured. They’ve failed to crack the 100 point mark in three of their last five games and now rank 27th in average points scored per game.
The Knicks, meanwhile, come into Friday’s matchup full of confidence as they seek their sixth win in a row. New York is coming off a 117-114 home win over the Spurs on Christmas Eve.
The winning streak has moved the Knicks up to third in the Eastern Conference standings where they currently trail the second-place Celtics by two games. The Knicks have now won eight of their last 10 and have won 10 of 14 at Madison Square Garden so far this season.

Our Orlando Magic vs New York Knicks Prediction
This should present an interesting battle between one of the NBA’s best offenses and one of its best defenses. The Knicks have been rolling lately and will have a big advantage when it comes to perimeter shooting.
Unfortunately for the Magic, missing Banchero and Franz Wagner means that their offense is extremely limited at the moment. They’ve failed to crack the 100-point mark in three of their last five games. With the hosts also being on a back-to.back, they could struggle to keep up with the Knicks here. Our Orlando Magic vs New York Knicks prediction: Knicks -6.5.
If your team in the Orlando Magic and New York Knicks game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Orlando Magic vs New York Knicks game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
