Knicks at Magic: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Knicks 107, Magic 98
Money line (ML)
The Knicks have played surprisingly well as of late, winning their last three games. All three of those victories were by double-digits, too, covering the spread each time. The Magic, on the other hand, are only 2-8 in their last 10 games.
I like the KNICKS (-190) to win this one straight-up on the road, continuing their hot streak. They beat the Magic in January, 91-84, and while the score won’t be that low, the end result will be the same.

Against the spread (ATS)
The Knicks are a stellar 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games, which is far better than the Magic’s recent record (3-7). The Knicks made easy work of Washington, Atlanta, and Houston last week and they’ll continue that run against the Magic tonight.
I like the KNICKS -4.5 (-110) to cover on the road, which isn’t a terribly large number. They’re 6-1 ATS in their last seven games.
Over/Under (O/U)
These are two of the worst offenses in the NBA, ranking near the bottom of the league in points per game. While the Knicks have been scoring at a higher clip recently, the Magic have only topped 100 points twice in their last five games.
The total has gone Under in each of the Knicks’ last five road games. Take the UNDER 209.5 (-110) tonight as this shouldn’t be a high-scoring affair.
