Command Analysis
Orlando Magic
USACurrent form
The Magic have improved significantly this season and continue to hold the bar high. Of course, there are plenty of problems, but the team is currently third in the Eastern Conference, and the competition in the leading five is sky-high.
Orlando lost the last game to Milwaukee, although they showed what a real fight is on the away court (109:114). Jamal Mosley charges are returning to their home court with the idea of rehabilitation in front of their fans, but in the next game they will have to face a serious opponent and at the same time a neighbor in the person of New York.
Disqualifications and injuries
Franz Wagner will miss the next match due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
The Magic have won ten games at home in a row.
Probable lineup: Carter - Danilo, Bitadze - Suggs, Caldwell-Pope.
New York Knicks
USACurrent form
The Knicks have also had some good performances this season, with the team starting to play more reliably, which has helped them climb to fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
New York failed to win the last match against Atlanta, although the game was played at home (100:108). Joe Hart was one of the best in the hosts' lineup, but his individual performance and 21 points did not help the team. The New Yorkers hope to improve their standings with a win in the next match against their neighbor Orlando, although they will have to try hard.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ariel Hookport and Mitchell Robinson will be out with injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Knicks are third in the Eastern Conference in road wins.
Preliminary lineup: Anunoby - Hart, Towns - Brunson, Bridges.

1.71Tip and bets
Orlando has been showing fantastic results at home. Since the start of the season, the team has not lost at home, which deserves praise. The Magic will strive to continue their winning streak, especially since Jamal Mosley guys are in no way inferior to their opponents.
New York is eager to rehabilitate itself as quickly as possible after the disappointing defeat to Atlanta. Everything would be fine, but the club is expecting a difficult away match, and against a not very convenient opponent. The New Yorkers feel good in away matches, but it is unlikely that they should count on easy points.
Our prediction is Orlando victory with a handicap of (+6) points for 1.72
Bet on total
We assume that in the battle of neighbors no one will spare each other, as the third place in the Eastern Conference is at stake. Both opponents are set for a fight in which the stake is unlikely to be made on defense. We expect that the opponents will try the total.
Forecast - total over 214 points for 1.63
Bet on statistics
Orlando is churning out home wins one after another and is not ready to change this tradition. In our opinion, the hosts will have a great opportunity to show themselves in attack and show who is the boss at home.
Prediction - Orlando individual total over 105.5 points for 1.78
