New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic: Betting tips
Jalen Brunson scored 23.5 points, which is less than his 24.7-point season average. But Orlando should keep Brunson under 23 points because they have one of the league’s strongest defences.
The point total for Jalen Suggs is 20.5. Even though his is more than his season average of 16.6 points, he will be the main offensive weapon because of other players’ injuries. Bet on the over here and take a chance.
New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic: Prediction
The Knicks are slightly favoured by the oddsmakers to end Orlando’s home winning streak, and we expect the same result. For a victory, New York is anticipated to cover the spread. With the total points remaining below 215.5, this game is probably going to be low-scoring.
