Premium Pick

New York is 8-3 ATS on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. New York gave league-leading Golden State all it could handle Sunday before succumbing 112-105 despite a double-double from Kristaps Porzingis (24 points, 15 rebounds). The Knicks are 5.5 games out of the last playoff spot in the East. Derrick Rose had 28 points and is averaging 20.2 over his last five games, while Porzingis is adding 20.7 ppg over the last three. The Knicks are 10-3 ATS against the NBA Southeast Division. Orlando is getting beat by an average of -6 points per game, third worst in the NBA. Orlando blew a 16-point halftime lead in a 115-114 loss at Washington on Sunday. The Magic could be without second-leading scorer and top rebounder Nikola Vucevic, who was a late scratch Sunday due to a sore right Achilles. Orlando is 8-20-1 ATS at home, including 3-12-1 ATS at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Knicks have won two of three meetings this season, including a 101-90 triumph at Orlando last week as a +2 dog in which Porzingis had 20 points. New York is 13-5-1 ATS in the last 19 meetings, 7-2-1 ATS at Orlando. Play the NY Knicks.
