Yes, Melo is questionable here, but New York is a dog to an Orlando squad that is 6-18 at home. The Knicks are on an 8-3 spread run, plus 5-1 ATS following a loss. New York has trouble under the glass, but Orlando is one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA, ranked 28th. Orlando has lost 12 of 13 games, 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. Orlando shot 39.8 percent and made 4 of 22 3-pointers in Monday's 96-80 loss at Washington. The Magic played without second-leading scorer Tobias Harris, who averages 17.4 points,who was out with a bruised right knee. His status is unclear. The Knicks are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings, including 5-1 ATS here in Orlando. Play New York, both ATS and on the moneyline.
