2024-25 season series: Knicks won 3-1<\/p>\n

Magic at Knicks picks and predictionsPrediction<\/p>\n

Knicks 122, Magic 116<\/p>\n

PASS.<\/p>\n

The Knicks are the much better team and should have no problem winning as -190 favorites, even on the second night of a back-to-back. However, they aren\u2019t worth the risk at this price, so it\u2019s best to pass and look to the spread or total instead.<\/p>\n

BET KNICKS -4.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

The Knicks have the third-highest offensive rating and the sixth-best scoring offense in the NBA, while the Magic rank 19th in offensive rating. On the other end, New York also holds the edge, boasting the seventh-best defensive rating compared to Orlando\u2019s 15th.<\/p>\n

The Magic may have stretches of defensive success, but they won\u2019t be able to consistently turn stops into points to keep this one within 5.<\/p>\n

Orlando is a talented team that appears to be improving lately, so there\u2019s a chance it covers if it plays up to preseason expectations.<\/p>\n

LEAN OVER 226.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

Orlando\u2019s offense is improving, as the Magic no longer rank in the bottom 10 in scoring or offensive rating. On the other side, the Knicks boast a dominant offense, which always makes the Over a real threat. Both teams are solid defensively, but expect this to be a game where the stars deliver strong offensive performances en route to the Over hitting.<\/p>\n

The Over has hit in 3 straight games for the Knicks.<\/p>\n

This is a lean because the Under has hit in 3 straight meetings between these teams and in back-to-back games overall for the Magic.<\/p>\n
