Magic vs Knicks prediction
Magic vs Knicks best bet: Over 227 (-110)
The New York Knicks are 5-0 straight up and against the spread in their last five games after beating the Grizzlies 133-120 last night. They are averaging 130.3 points per game over that span with a sizzling 59.3 effective field goal percentage.
Tonight, they host the Orlando Magic, who are 4-2 SU and ATS in their previous six contests. This Orlando squad is playing significantly differently than last season.
The Magic played at the slowest pace in the NBA last season, were second in defensive rating, and just 27th in offensive rating. This year, they are 14th in pace and have upped their offensive efficiency while their defense has regressed.
They are 10th in the NBA in 2-point percentage (55.4%) while the Knicks are 21st in opponent 2PT% (55.6%).
That said, the Knicks are second in threes per game (17.0) and knock them down at 38.5% clip, while Orlando is 23rd in opponent 3PT% (37%). Both offenses should succeed as we cruise past the Over.
Magic vs Knicks same-game parlay
New York's offense is spearheaded by All-NBA guard Jalen Brunson, who has dropped 29+ points in six of his last nine games. He's averaging 27.7 points per game, and the Magic allow 26.3 PPG to opposing point guards (26th).
I mentioned how bad Orlando has been at defending threes, but the Knicks are even worse, ranking 26th in opponent 3PT% (39.1%). Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. has extended his range this season and has knocked down at least two triples in five of his last seven games.
