Orlando at New York

The New York Knicks appeared on their way back to two years ago, when they gave the Miami Heat a serious challenge in the playoffs. They have since regressed back to being a sub-par team, and their 2-6 start is not accidental it is representative of the talent, or lack of talent on the roster. Melo is forced to take the scoring load, and defenses are collapsing on him. He is averaging just 20 points per game, and shooting under 40%, and just 30% from deep. That has forced the Knicks to play in the half court to shorten games the best they can. The Knicks have not reached the 100-point mark in any of their eight games, and have allowed just two opponents to get there. Orlando faces a similar dilemma, as they have yet to score over 100 points in any of their eight games without the benefit of overtime. The Magic own a 36-16 mark to the UNDER in their last 52 on the road, including 11-1 to the UNDER in their last 12 vs. a team with a losing home record. Play on the UNDER.
