Knicks #Knicks

On Friday, the Orlando Magic (18-12) host the New York Knicks (17-13), and if you’re wondering how to catch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

After starting 16-7, the Magic have lost five of their last seven games entering play on Friday. Their two-game win streak was snapped on Wednesday by the Philadelphia 76ers, who were playing without Joel Embiid.

Franz Wagner led the Magic in the 112-92 loss with 24 points, five rebounds and three assists. He has 16 20-point games this season, including each of his last four appearances.

Meanwhile, the Knicks continue a three-game road trip after dropping their first matchup on Wednesday in Oklahoma City, 129-120. They fell to 6-6 in December after going 11-7 in October and November.

Despite an uneven month, Jalen Brunson continues to perform at a high level. He is one of six players with a 50-point game this season and is averaging 27.3 points, 6.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals on 40% shooting from 3-point range in December.
