Knicks at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 114, Magic 111

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks are the better side despite being on the road, and they are the far less injured side as well. However, at -200, they aren’t worth a wager, especially coming off a bad home loss.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC +4.5 (-105).

Orlando has been terrific for bettors at home, going 9-1 ATS. Obviously, it is short some key players, but it has scored at least 109 in 2 straight games, so it should have the offense to keep pace with New York.

The Knicks have struggled, especially as favorites recently. They are 0-3 ATS in their last 3, all as favorites, and 0-3 ATS in their last 3 on the road. New York has failed to top 113 points in 3 straight games.

Back MAGIC +4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET OVER 214.5 (-105).

The Magic have gone Over in back-to-back games, scoring and allowing at least 109 points in each outing. Orlando is 5-3 O/U in its last 8 games.

The Knicks, who are 3-2 O/U in their last 5, have tallied at least 111 in 5 of their last 6. They are 14-11 O/U on the season. New York’s defense hasn’t been as solid recently, allowing 108 or more in 3 straight.

Back OVER 214.5 (-105).

Knicks at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 116, Magic 110

Moneyline

PASS.

Despite the Knicks (-170) playing on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, they’re expected to come away with the win on Thursday. That being said, I’d only play New York’s moneyline if it improved to -150 or better.

Against the spread

KNICKS -3.5 (-110) is how I’d bet the spread with New York needing every win it can get to maintain a top 5 seed in the East. The Knicks have won 7 of the last 10 meetings and this isn’t a massive spread.

New York is 22-7-2 ATS in its last 31 games playing on 0 days of rest.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 228.5 (-105).

New York and Orlando are both in the bottom half of the league in pace this season, leading to fewer possessions. The Knicks are 8-2 to the Under in their last 10 road games against teams with a losing home record, and the Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these clubs.

Knicks at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 116, Magic 111

Moneyline

The KNICKS (-120) are the pick here following New York’s impressive win over a hot Philadelphia squad. New York is 15-11 on the road compared to Orlando being 13-13 at home this season.

Against the spread

KNICKS -1.5 (-110) is the lean here with me taking New York to secure the victory on the road. Even if Barrett is ruled out, the Knicks still have All-Star caliber players in G Jalen Brunson and F Julius Randle available.

The Knicks beat the Magic 115-102 at home on Oct. 24, covering the 7.5-point spread while 222.5 Under cashed.

Over/Under

Even though these teams are bottom 12 in pace, OVER 226.5 (-112) is the choice here. Both of these teams are in the bottom half of the league in defensive rating and the Knicks are 9th in offensive rating.

New York has gone Over in each of its last 4 road games. Meanwhile, Orlando has hit the Over in 5 of its last 6 home games.

New York Knicks at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Knicks at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Knicks (1-0) head south to take on the Orlando Magic (0-1) Friday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET from Amway Center. Below, we look at the Knicks vs. Magic odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Knicks, who were one of the best Against The Spread teams in the NBA last season, are coming off a thrilling double-overtime win over the Boston Celtics and look to continue their dominance in their second game. New York is led by F Julius Randle and enters as a heavy favorite despite being on the road.

Center Mohamed Bamba and G Cole Anthony lead the Magic with F Jonathan Isaac sidelined. Orlando started the season with a brutal 26-point road loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The Magic started two rookies — Guards Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs — along with Anthony in the defeat as they remain at the beginning of a lengthy rebuild.

Knicks at Magic odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 106, Magic 97

Money line

PASS on the money line.

There’s just not much value in Knicks -320. They should win this game against a heavily injured Magic team that started two rookies in a blowout loss to the Spurs.

However, odds this steep on the money line shouldn’t be considered as upsets run rampant in the NBA.

Against the spread

BET on the KNICKS -7.5 (-110) as the best value. After covering a 2.5-point spread in double overtime at home against the Celtics, New York hits the road for the first time.

While I do love the Knicks, PF Julius Randle, PG Derrick Rose, and others like SG Alec Burks and SG Evan Fournier don’t quite get it done against elite competition, as was shown in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs.

However, the Magic aren’t elite competition, and the Knicks did have the fourth-best defensive rating in the NBA last season. That’s really all you need to know.

The Magic will again start two rookies against a mighty defense. That’s a recipe for disaster as no player reached 20 points as the team failed to score 100 in their season opener at San Antonio.

Did you see the above injury report? That’s just disastrous for the home team.

I’m siding with the team that has actual expectations this season against one with multiple rookies that relies on Mo Bamba for scoring.

It’s just the better bet in this instance. The line opened at -6, and is up as -8 in some places, so bettors are going heavy on New York.

Over/Under

“LEAN” on the UNDER 212.5 (-110).

The Magic only mustered 97 points in their opener, and while the Knicks did put up 138 against the Celtics, they also did have the 22nd-best offensive rating last year and the game went to double overtime.

Randle, Rose, Burks, and Fournier are all certainly capable of having an off night which is why money line wagers aren’t ideal. Randle and Fournier combining for 67 a second game is unlikely.

However, the Knicks’ defense and the Magic’s injuries to go with their youth point all things to the Under for a comfortable half unit bet.

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.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

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.
