Magic vs Knicks Prediction

The Magic have won 6 of the last 10 games against the Knicks, which includes a blowout win 10 days ago in MSG. I’m still rolling with the Knicks in this toss up spot. The Knicks are expected to have Brunson back, while the Magic are still without Wagner and Banchero. At some point, those injuries catch up to them. The Knicks also finally got their first road win of the season, which should build confidence. In a near pick em spot, I’m going to side with the team that’s healthier and will have the best player on the court. Give me the Knicks.
