Orlando at New York

Orlando is 0-2 and has allowed 132 to Atlanta and 115 to Minnesota, an average of 123.5 points a game. The Magic lost the rebounding and turnover battles in both games, which hands opponents extra possessions. Forward Jonathan Isaac has yet to play this season, and Noah Penda and Izaiyah Nelson are out, so Wendell Carter Jr. anchors a thin interior. Anthony Black, questionable with an ankle sprain, has missed both games. Paolo Banchero averaged 24.5 points through two games, sat out the fourth quarter of the loss to Minnesota, and is now out four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain. Sean Sweeney, a first-year head coach, is still looking for his first win. New York is 0-2 after losses to Philadelphia and Boston, scoring 100 and 103. The Knicks list no injuries, and Karl-Anthony Towns scored 22 at Boston while Jalen Brunson put up 21 against the 76ers. Both of those nights came against defenses that held up, and this Orlando group is giving up possessions and points at a rate neither of them matched. The OVER is my play tonight, because the Knicks finally get a defense that has not shown up yet this season.
