New York Knicks Vs Orlando Magic Basketball Preview - 12-27-2024
The Knicks have been one of the hottest teams in the league recently and will look to keep winning when they take on an Orlando side that has lost six out of its last eight matches. While Orlando's offensive side may have its issues, against tougher competition like New York they must convert more opportunities when they have them.
Jalen Brunson has been leading the Knicks recently, and will look to build on his recent performances when they take on an Orlando team that is mostly without its key players such as Moritz Wagner and Paolo Banchero. However, their current roster should provide enough offense on the court.
Both teams have posted impressive defensive stats. The Knicks currently rank third in points off turnovers in the NBA this year; when facing off with Orlando who are currently 28th in terms of points allowed per game. Furthermore, Orlando boasts one of the highest three-point shooting percentages among their peers as of late and will look to exploit that weakness against them.
This matchup has an over/under total set at 218.5 points. I expect this trend to continue as both teams have recently been playing under the total in recent contests, which may continue in this matchup as well.
