Orlando has won both meetings this season, including 107-99 on Dec. 21st when both teams shot better than 50 percent from the field and Nikola Vucevic finished with 26 points for the Magic. The Knicks are in a tailspin, and even a coaching change hasn't helped as they have lost 13 of their last 15 games and are 1-8 ATS their last nine games. New York lost at Indiana on Wednesday, 108-105, as Kristaps Porzingis scored 22 points and Jose Calderon added 20 points, but again the Knicks came up just short when Porzingis missed a potential go-ahead three-point attempt in the waning seconds. Orlando has won four of its last seven games, but lost to Golden State 130-114 last night as Stephen Curry exploded again, this time for 51 points and the Warriors shot 60.2 percent. Evan Fournier led the Magic with 20 points, and Vucevic added 17 points and nine rebounds. The Knicks are 0-6 ATS their last six home games, and the Magic is 4-0 its last four road contests. The Knicks shouldn't be favored over anyone. Play the Magic.
