The New York Knicks and the Orlando Magic will meet for the fourth time this season on Saturday, duking against each other for a spot in the final of the 2025 NBA Cup.
The Knicks, 8-1 against the spread in their last 9 games, are facing a -5.0 handicap against the same Magic team that defeated them in 2 out of 3 times this season.
Current Form:
The Knicks will walk into Saturday’s semifinal duel with the Magic riding a four-game winning streak. New York reclaimed the No.1 spot in the Atlantic Division standings with victories over Charlotte 119-104, Utah 146-112, Orlando 106-100, and Toronto 117-101. Jalen Brunson has scored 30 or more points in the last three games, including a 35-point performance in a win over the Raptors in the NBA Cup quarterfinals.
The Magic advanced to the NBA Cup semifinals with a 117-108 rout over the Miami Heat on December 9. Playing in their first games since losing leading scorer Franz Wagner to a high ankle sprain, Orlando banked on their offseason acquisition, Desmond Bane, to lead the charge offensively. Bane recorded a game-high 37 points, and Paolo Banchero added 18 points off the bench.

Our New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic Prediction
Fearless Forecast: It’s going to be a lot harder for the Magic to beat the Knicks now without Franz Wagner.

New York is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 games, while Orlando is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games.
Our betting prediction for the Orlando Magic vs. the New York Knicks: The New York Knicks -5.0 points
