Knicks at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 108, Knicks 102

Moneyline

The MAGIC (-154) isn't priced out of line if you're a little on the conservative side, and you don't want to fiddle around with the points. Orlando has won 5 of the past 7 games outright.

On the flip side, the Knicks (+130) have dropped 4 of the past 5 games after a 9-game win streak from Jan. 17-Feb. 1.

Against the spread

The MAGIC -3 (-110) is on a heater against the number, going 7-2 ATS in the past 9 games. The Magic is also 6-4 ATS in the past 10 games at home, including a 117-108 win over the Knicks +3 (-110) on Dec. 29 at Kia Center.

The Knicks have had a roller coaster ride lately, as they have failed to cover the past 5 games after a 7-0 ATS run from Jan. 20-Feb. 1. New York has failed to cover the 1st 2 meetings this season with Orlando, too. The Magic have covered the past 3 in the series, too.

Over/Under

UNDER 211.5 (-108) is worth a look at Kia Center on Wednesday.

The total has gone low in 7 consecutive meetings, including just 192 combined points in the most recent battle on Jan. 15.

For the Knicks, the Under is on a 6-2 run in the past 8 games, while going 13-3 in the previous 16 contests.

As far as the Magic is concerned, the Over has cashed in 4 in a row, but go low based on the trends in the series.
