NY Knicks Win(-170)

Reasoning

I quite like what I’m seeing from the Knicks right now. Jalen Brunson and company are peaking at just the right time when they head to Vegas for the NBA Cup semifinals with big aspirations after winning their 8th game in 9 outings. A familiar foe awaits them in the semifinals when they take on the Orlando Magic for the 4th and final time this season. These two teams actually met just last Sunday with the Knicks coming out on top 106-100 to snap a mini 2-game win streak the Magic had put together in head-to-head meetings. Brunson in particular has looked unstoppable in this matchup. Through 3 games, he’s averaging 31.3 points and 8.7 assists per game.

It’s been the Desmond Bane show for Orlando over the past couple of weeks. He has finally set in with his new team, and the last 6 games have seen him elevate his game offensively — scoring 37 points on 3 occasions. This type of play couldn’t have come at a better time for the Magic, who have had their fair share of injuries. Franz Wagner injured his ankle against the Knicks on Sunday, and it’s unclear if he will be able to gut it out and play in the semifinal. Paolo Banchero is back though, and while he hasn’t been the same player in these 3 games back, the Magic hope he can regain his touch sooner rather than later.

Elimination games are always fun to watch. It’s not often you can get this excited during an 82-game regular season, and I really look forward to these games in Vegas. As good as the Magic have been at times this season, I believe they lack the necessary experience playing in big time moments. The Knicks have been to back-to-back East Finals, playing in a bunch of Game 7s along the way. Combine that with their recent run of 8 wins in 9 games, I think they have the winning formula here. Take New York to advance.
