Result:
WIN

Not sure if anyone else was shocked by this line, but I surely am.  The knicks are still without A. Davis, have gone 1-6 ATS in their last 7 and traveling to play the Sixers who are 3-1 ATS their last 4.  The only reason I see the line being this low could be because these two teams both recently played Orlando; one with a win and one with a loss.  Orlando has started to play pretty good basketball and first traveled to Philly, where the Sixers took them to OT (thanks to C. Webber and A.Iverson).  The next day Orlando had to go to NY and face the Knicks who were able to take advantage of their tough game the night before and barely win 97-94.  The oddsmakers must have not realized how tired the Magic were going into NY, but now NY is the one who must travel to Philly.  Take the 6ers giving 5.5 in this home matchup for three stars.
