  • Orlando Magic are 12-1-0 ATS in their last 13 games
  • New York Knicks are 9-10-1 ATS this season
  • The Under has cashed in 8 of the last 9 meetings

  • New York Knicks won 98-74 when the two teams last met on March 8

Orlando Magic Form

Orlando head to the ‘Big Apple’ riding a six-game win streak and having won 12 of their last 13 games. Including all three of their NBA Cup games.

The Magic endured a five game skid in early November, but turned things around in spectacular fashion as they won five straight.

That run included a couple of NBA Cup successes, as they beat Charlotte 114-89 and Philadelphia 98-86 at home.

Orlando’s run was ended by a 104-93 loss at the LA Clippers, but they bounced back emphatically with six more wins.

The Magic’s latest streak saw them win back-to-back games in Brooklyn to end last week, including a 123-100 blowout of the Nets in the cup.

New York Knicks Form

New York enter this matchup having won back-to-back games to continue a solid run of form that has seen them win seven of the last nine.

The Knicks began this sequence with back-to-back home wins over Brooklyn, beating the Nets 124-122 and 114-104.

They then beat Washington 134-106 at home and Phoenix 138-122 to the road, before seeing their winning run end with a 121-106 defeat in Utah.

New York rebounded with a 145-118 success in Denver, only to then move on to Dallas where they were beaten 129-114 by the Mavericks.

The Knicks have not lost since though, following up a 99-98 victory in Charlotte with a 118-84 demolition of New Orleans at home.

Verdict

No team in the NBA is hotter right now than the Magic, and they are delivering on the road.

Until that changes Orlando will be an appealing spread selection with free points.
