Knicks vs Magic Prediction
The Knicks should be favored at home where they’re 12-1 SU, but I’m going to grab the points with the Magic. The Magic have quietly been winning games over the last couple of weeks, and they’re healthy now with the return of Banchero. The Magic have also given the Knicks issues, which includes winning each of the last 3 meetings. I also don’t expect the Knicks to have KAT, as he’s a big man with a calf issue. You have to be very careful with that. This should be a competitive game where the Magic can drag the Knicks into the mud and slow the game down. Give me the points.
