New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic Betting Preview

The New York Knicks (20-10) are set to face off against the Orlando Magic (19-13) on a Friday night at 7:00 PM ET at the Kia Center in Orlando. This matchup features the Knicks, who are riding a five-game winning streak, as significant favorites despite being on the road. The current spread stands at Knicks -7.0, with a moneyline of -260 for New York and +220 for Orlando, giving the Knicks an implied win probability of 70% compared to the Magic's 30%.

Orlando enters this contest on the heels of a tough 89-88 loss to the Miami Heat, and it’s worth noting that this game marks a back-to-back for the Magic. The lack of rest could hinder their performance, particularly against a Knicks team that has been playing at a high level. Despite their recent struggles, the Magic have been strong at home, winning 12 of their last 15 games in front of their fans.

For those looking to place player prop bets, Jalen Brunson's points market has garnered significant attention, with the over/under set at 22.5 points (-125). Sharp bettors seem to believe this line is mispriced, indicating that they expect Brunson to exceed that threshold.

As the Knicks aim to extend their winning streak and solidify their position in the standings, the Magic will need to dig deep and leverage their home-court advantage to turn the tide in their favor. This matchup promises to be an exciting clash between two teams with contrasting momentum heading into the game.
