Orlando was no match for the Warriors in a 133-112 in their last match. Their defence is a concern, especially on the road. They’ve conceded 118 or more points in their last 3 games. They lost all 3 games and we’re tipping the Knicks will enjoy scoring against them.

Mar 6, 2017 – Knicks 113 d Magic 105 in Orlando
Mar 1, 2017 – Knicks 101 d Magic 90 in Orlando
The head to head is tied at 5-5 in the last 10 meetings. They’ve met once this season and the Magic did get on top of the Knicks at home 112-99. They also have a 2-2 record in the last 4 meetings in New York.
The difference will mainly be on defence. The Magic are 1-9 in their last 10 games and struggle to contain sides. The Knicks are coming off a huge win over the Heat and they have a better defence. So at home, we’re backing the Knicks.
TIP: Knicks WIN $1.92 at Sportsbet.
