Orlando Magic vs NY Knicks Prediction
The NY Knicks are favored because they’re the healthier team. It’s hard to trust the Magic against good teams when they’re down Banchero and Wagner. However, we’re getting points with the Magic at home, where they’re undefeated on the season. Also, the Magic continues to play great defense and compete, banged up or not. The Magic have also covered 7 of their last 10 games. As I’ve said before, the Magic aren’t going down quietly. Give me the points.
