Knicks vs Magic Odds - 7:00pm EST on TNT - Dec. 30th, 2010
The 2nd place (Atlantic) New York Knicks (18-13) look to get back to their winning ways when they travel to take on the 2nd place (Southeast) Orlando Magic (20-12) on Thursday night at 7:00pm EST when they battle at the Amway Center in a TNT televised double header. The San Antonio Spurs vs Dallas Mavericks will also tip-off on TNT at 9:30pm EST. Online sportsbooks have opened with the Magic -7.5 favorites in NBA picks at home vs the Knicks with an over/under betting total of 213. Sportsbooks also favor Orlando -330 in money line Vegas NBA odds vs New York +270 for the game that can be seen on TNT.
The Magic started off the season with many questions as Stan Van Gundy's team had not performed up to expectations which saw a December filled with losses. Then came the huge trade with the Washington Wizards for Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu and now the Magic have won four straight games including a 110-95 victory at the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. Orlando won by 15-points and easily covered the 7.5-point spread in Vegas NBA odds as road favorites to go 12-19-1 ATS for the season. Tonight should be a good indicator whether or not the "new look" Magic are for real as favorites in NBA picks when Amare Stoudemire and the 1st place Knicks (107.6-points per game) come to town on Thursday.
What more can you say about Stoudemire except that he is simply a beast. The 6'10 power forward leads the New York Knicks scoring averaging 26.3-ppg and almost records a double-double every time he steps on the court also averaging 9.2-rebounds a game. The Knicks had won two straight games in NBA picks before falling to the Miami Heat 98-106 on Tuesday and barely covered the spread as 8.5-point underdogs in Vegas NBA odds to go 21-9-1 ATS for the season. Tonight will also be an indicator for New York has already lost two games vs the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat this season so the Knicks are somewhat in a must win situation tonight at Orlando if they expect to contend for the Eastern Conference title.
