Two Eastern Conference contenders go head-to-head on Saturday when the New York Knicks travel south to face the Orlando Magic.
Orlando has been excellent at home this season, and my Knicks vs Magic predictions expect a win for the home underdog.
Here are my best free NBA picks for this Eastern Conference showdown at the Kia Center on November 22.
Knicks vs Magic prediction
Knicks vs Magic best bet: Magic moneyline (+100)
The Orlando Magic are 6-3 straight up at home this season, including 5-1 across their last six at Kia Center. Over those six games, the Magic have outscored opponents by a combined 55 points, good for 9.1 points per game.
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks are just 1-4 straight up on the road and 1-3 as the road favorite. New York has been outscored by 5.6 ppg away from the Garden.
Orlando continues to find ways to win even with Paolo Banchero sidelined. Desmond Bane has stepped up in a big way with the first unit, and guys like Anthony Black and Goga Bitadze have provided strong production off the bench.
The Magic have won four straight at home, and I expect them to extend that winning streak on Saturday. Even-money odds are a bonus.
