Knicks vs Magic odds, spread & over/under
As of Saturday morning, ESPN lists the Knicks as 1.5-point road favorites over the Magic, with a total of 230.5 and moneyline of New York -105 / Orlando -115.
New York has been strong overall at 9-5, going 7-2 straight up in its last nine games and 6–3 against the spread over that span, though the Knicks have struggled to cover on the road in recent stretches. Orlando, meanwhile, comes in on a four-game home winning streak and has won five of its last six overall, even while shorthanded.
The total in the high 220s suggests bookmakers expect decent pace and efficient offense from both sides, with the Knicks’ upgraded firepower and Orlando’s balanced scoring (Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane leading the way while Paolo Banchero is out) driving the number.
Projected starting lineups & injury report for Knicks vs Magic
Projected Knicks starting lineup vs Magic
Based on recent games and latest reports, the Knicks are expected to roll with:
- PG: Jalen Brunson (probable – right ankle sprain)
- SG: Landry Shamet
- SF: Mikal Bridges
- PF: Karl-Anthony Towns
- C: Mitchell Robinson
Knicks injuries:
- OG Anunoby – OUT (left hamstring strain)
- Jalen Brunson – PROBABLE (right ankle sprain); barring a setback, he’s expected to play.
No other Knicks players are currently listed on the official league injury report for this game.
Projected Magic starting lineup vs Knicks
Orlando remains without its star forward Paolo Banchero, so the Magic are likely to continue with a Banchero-less first unit:
- PG: Jalen Suggs
- SG: Desmond Bane
- SF: Franz Wagner
- PF: Tristan da Silva
- C: Wendell Carter Jr.
Magic injuries:
- Paolo Banchero – OUT (left groin strain)
- Colin Castleton – Game Time Decision (G League / two-way assignment
- Moritz Wagner – OUT (knee)
Orlando has otherwise kept its core rotation intact despite Banchero’s absence, with Wagner and Bane shouldering more of the scoring and on-ball creation.
Why tonight’s Knicks vs Magic game matters
This is a sneaky-important Eastern Conference matchup early in the season. The Knicks sit in the top tier of the East at 9-5, while the Magic are 9-7 and trying to solidify themselves as a playoff mainstay rather than a fringe play-in team.
It’s also a rematch of the November 12 meeting at Madison Square Garden, when Orlando snapped New York’s five-game win streak and handed the Knicks their first home loss, 124-107, behind big nights from Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane.
With Paolo Banchero still out, the Magic are leaning harder on Wagner’s all-around scoring and Bane’s perimeter shooting to keep their four-game home win streak alive. The Knicks, getting Brunson back close to full strength and still without OG Anunoby, are looking to avenge that earlier loss and prove they can handle business on the road against a tough, physical Orlando group.
Knicks vs Magic prediction
With Jalen Brunson expected to play and Paolo Banchero sidelined, New York enters as a justifiable short favorite, but Orlando’s recent home form and defense make this feel like a grind-it-out contest. Lean Knicks to edge a close one behind Brunson and their size up front, with the offensive talent on both sides hinting at a matchup that could land near the current total rather than blowing it away either direction.
