Magic vs Knicks Prediction
The Magic and the points are tempting as they’ve won 2 of the 3 games this season against the Knicks, and they’re a tough, feisty team that competes. It’s just asking a lot without Wagner and Banchero still on a minutes restriction. The Knicks are 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games, and they’re 16-8 ATS on the season overall. The Knicks are as healthy as they’ve been all year and are hard to step in front of most nights, mainly against lesser competition. The Knicks beat the Magic by 6 points less than a week ago, the game Wagner got hurt. The line is reasonable. I have a hard time turning down the Knicks at this line.
