There is little prospects of either of these teams making a playoff run as the 23-36 NY Knicks travel to Orlando to take on the even worse 18-39 Magic. The break could not have come soon enough for the Knicks who dropped eight straight games prior to the break. That may look horrible, but a closer look shows they faced seven teams projected into the playoffs, this game certainly presents a better opportunity. The Magic are off three straight losses themselves. They have no right being a favorite here, and during the course of the season they are just 3-7 ATS in the role of a favorite, losing half of them outright. Take the points and play on New York.
