The current betting odds have the Knicks listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Knicks have looked great in their games this season with their 33-21 record overall which has them surging up the standings in the East right now. They are in a playoff spot in the East as they are near the top of the standings and they haven't been bad in their road games either with their 14-13 road record. They have lost 3 games in a row now as they haven't been at their best lately, dealing with some injuries too, but now they are getting a bit healthier and looked a lot better in their loss against the Rockets in their last one. Meanwhile, the Magic have also looked good in their games this season with their 29-24 record overall which has them fighting to keep their playoff spot in the East right now. They have looked great on their home court all year with their 17-7 home record and have also been hot lately with 2 wins in a row now. As good as they have been lately, they haven't really faced a team as good as the Knicks during that time and the Magic are also in a terrible situation here since they are playing this game on a back-to-back and right after a tough game against the Thunder. The Knicks have looked really good over the last month and they badly need a win in this game, they will take advantage of the Magic in this bad situation. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
