New York has won five in a row after a Christmas Day win at home over San Antonio, 117-114. This will be their fifth road game over the last eight contests. The defense is 15th in shooting allowed and 22nd at defending the 3-pointer. Orlando is the No. 4 seed in the East, two games behind the Knicks. Orlando plays its fourth consecutive home game after wins over Miami (121-114) and Boston (108-104) and a last-second loss to the Heat yesterday (89-88). They're No. 1 defensively in points given up and 12th in field goal shooting allowed, while the offense is ninth from the charity stripe. Orlando is on a 16-7 SU, 17-6 ATS run, including 10-1 SU/ATS at home. Play Orlando.
