The pre-game matchup

The Magic visited the Knicks on Sunday, October 25 at 7:00 PM ET.

Last season (2025-26), the Magic scored 115.5 points per game (15th of 30) and allowed 114.5 (12th). The Knicks scored 116.2 points per game (11th of 30) and allowed 109.9 (4th).

Offensive rating, the points scored per 100 possessions: Magic 112.4 (19th), Knicks 117.2 (4th). Defensive rating, the points allowed per 100 possessions: Magic 111.4 (10th), Knicks 110.9 (5th). Net rating, the offensive minus defensive rating: Magic +1.0 (17th), Knicks +6.3 (5th). These are last season's full-season numbers because the new season's sample is still small; rosters change over the offseason.

The Knicks closed as 6.5-point favorites at home against the Magic. The spread opened at Knicks -8.5. The total closed 224.5, unchanged from the open. After removing the vig, the closing moneyline (Magic +214, Knicks -265) prices the Magic at 30% and the Knicks at 70%.
