Through 3 Quarters
The experts predicted a win for the New York Knicks, but it's no sure thing at this point. Either team is in a position to win, but they lead against the Orlando Magic 80-76. Power forward Julius Randle has led the way so far for New York, as he has posted a double-double on 25 points and ten rebounds in addition to three blocks.
The Knicks have a habit of keeping things close this season; the squad played one games decided by three or less. Maybe they will pull away, but we predict a narrow margin.

What to Know
The New York Knicks will take on the Orlando Magic at 7 p.m. ET Sunday at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks have the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.
New York is hoping for another win. They took their matchup against Orlando this past Friday by a conclusive 121-96 score. With New York ahead 65-35 at the half, the contest was all but over already. Their power forward Julius Randle filled up the stat sheet, dropping a double-double on 21 points and ten boards in addition to seven assists.
This next game looks promising for New York, who are favored by a full 12 points. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.
New York's victory lifted them to 2-0 while Orlando's loss dropped them down to 0-2. We'll see if New York can repeat their recent success or if the Magic bounce back and reverse their fortune.
