New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic Prediction
By no means should New York overlook Orlando even though the team finished at the bottom of the conference last season. The Magic might have the eventual ROY on their roster in Banchero, who is averaging 23.3 points in his first three contests. The last thing that the Knicks should want is for Banchero to set the Garden on fire.
New York needs to carry over the momentum from Friday night, especially the bench. The Knicks’ depth will be key to their success this year and they showed why against the Pistons. Expect to see New York keep things going with a win on Monday night.
New York 127, Detroit 109.
