New York Knicks at Orlando Magic - 4/3/22 NBA Picks and Prediction

The Orlando Magic play host to the New York Knicks at the Amway Center on Sunday night.

The New York Knicks have been in decent form as they’ve won six of their past 10 games overall, but they will be hoping to avoid a third straight loss after getting routed by the Cavaliers in a 119-101 loss last night. Obi Toppin led the team with 20 points, Evan Fournier added 19 points while Immanuel Quickley chipped in with 17 points, seven rebounds and seven assists off the bench. As a team, the Knicks shot just 40 percent from the field and 13 of 30 from the 3-point line as they allowed the Cavaliers off to a flyer and leaked 39 points in the first quarter to fall behind early on and they just never find their footing in this one, falling behind by as many as 22 points in a game in which they never led.

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been in terrible shape as they’ve lost eight of their last 10 games and they will be hoping to stop a five-game slide after getting routed by the Raptors in a 102-89 loss on Friday. Mo Bamba led the team in scoring with 15 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, Ignas Brazdeikis added 13 points while Markelle Fultz tallied 12 points with five rebounds and seven assists. As a team, the Magic shot just 42 percent from the field and 11 of 35 from the 3-point line as they struggled to find their offense and trailed by 13 points going into halftime, and things only got worse in the third quarter where they managed just 17 points to fall behind by as many as 22 points.
