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.
