The Knicks actually have been better on the road than at home -- including 6-2 ATS as a road favorite -- and considering it's Florida in February, half the crowd probably will be from New York. RJ Barrett was in question but will play (that even a good thing?). Since Dec. 7, New York's Julius Randle is averaging 27.5 points (6th in the East), 12.6 (2nd in the East), 4.8 assists (5th among forwards in the East) and has 25 double-double (first in East). New York's 18 wins in that span are No. 5 in the East.
This is an interesting matchup because, as bad as the Magic have been, they are 13-13 at home. This is their first home game coming off a road trip that saw them got 3-1 with one of their victories coming over the 76ers. However, the Knicks are the superior team, and they have a better record on the road (15-11) than they do at home (14-15). When these teams met earlier in the season, the Knicks won by 13 points in New York. Their rematch should be closer, but I still expect the Knicks to win.
