Betting on the New York Knicks
- Regular Season Record: 42-31
The Knicks started this week with an adverse result when they fell 140-134 at home to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, they are still firmly in the direct access to the playoffs, given that they arrive to this clash in fifth place in the standings with a 2.5 game differential with respect to their closest rival, the Brooklyn Nets.
Although this will be New York’s second game in a row on the road, that hasn’t affected them at all this season, but on the contrary, as it is the only team in the league to reach this stage of the regular round with more away wins (22) than at home wins (20).
The Knicks have also been solid on both ends of the court, allowing a decent average of 112.6 points allowed per game and averaging 115.4 points scored, paced by Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson who have had an incredible year.
Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 30-43
The Magic have kissed their hopes of clinching one of the Eastern Conference playoff spots goodbye after a stretch in which they have won only three of their last six games. These results have left the team in thirteenth place in the standings and 5.0 games short of its goal.
Despite this, the Florida team arrives to this game on the right foot after defeating the Washington Wizards 112-122. Franz Wagner was one of the team’s most outstanding players, contributing with 20 points and 6 assists, while Paolo Banchero finished with 18 points, 8 assists and 9 rebounds.
Playing at home could help the Magic record a second win in a row in a long time, as they have a 17-19 record at the Amway Center and have posted their best offensive performances there, with an average of 114.5 points scored per game.
JefeBet Prediction
While the Magic have been much more competitive at home this campaign, they are not at their best moment, and the opponent they will face is currently a couple of steps above them, both on defense and offense, something that has been demonstrated in their two previous meetings.
Moreover, the Knicks are playing at a great level and will be playing away, which poses no problem for them and which is a condition in which they have covered the Spread 24 times in 36 opportunities. Therefore, we expect the Knicks to continue their stellar performance away from home and take the win in this clash.
Prediction: New York Knicks Spread (NYK 114-108 ORL).
