Magic to Host Knicks Sunday, Dec. 15 After NBA Cup Elimination
ORLANDO, Fla. – With the Orlando Magic eliminated from the Emirates NBA Cup knockout round Tuesday night, their attention turned to Wednesday night’s corresponding East quarterfinal matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks.
In order to reach 82 regular season games, the Magic would face the loser of Wednesday’s Hawks-Knicks matchup in Madison Square Garden.
Because Atlanta defeated New York, the Magic will host the Knicks on Sunday, Dec. 15 at the Kia Center at 6 p.m. ET. FanDuel Sports Network Florida will broadcast the game.
Tickets go on sale Thursday, Dec. 12 at 12 p.m. ET. For more information, visit OrlandoMagic.com or call 407-89-MAGIC.
Orlando sits 17-10 this season and third in the Eastern Conference. New York, after Wednesday’s loss, is 15-10 and sits one game behind the Magic in fourth.
These two teams met last week in the East Group A decider of the NBA Cup group stage. The Knicks throttled the Magic, 121-106, but the final score doesn’t represent how lopsided the contest was. New York led Orlando by as many as 37 points in the second half of the contest.
Because of the way the Magic’s schedule aligns, the contest will be the first of a seven-game homestand that carries Orlando all the way through Dec. 29.
The contest will be the second of four matchups between the two teams, and ensures Orlando will play 41 home and away games each over the course of the regular season.
