Magic vs. Knicks Pick
Magic vs. Knicks Spread Pick
- Magic +4.5 (4 units)
While the Knicks had won four straight entering Tuesday, the fact remains that this marks their second game of a back-to-back and their third game in four nights here. That takes a toll on any team, more so when it’s a top-heavy rotation that has four starters logging more than 32 minutes a night. Orlando started the year 1-4 but has won four of their last six after downing Portland Monday night. The Magic has received decent production throughout their rotation, with Banchero and Franz Wagner leading the way. While the Knicks have been dominant at home, fatigue wears them down a bit here. Take Orlando and the points in this contest.
