NBA - 701 Orlando Magic @ 702 New York Knicks
Projected line: Orlando by 6 points
As
we have all seen over the past few games, the Knicks offense is
basically ridiculous right now and it won't get any better with Carmelo
being doubtful for this contest. Their ball movement is simply
non-existent, as they have dished just 16, 13, 19 and 18 assists on
their last 4 games. The volume on their plays is terribly adjusted, as
they have a super volume of ISO plays (16.40%) but without any success,
as they are 28th in the league with 0.63 PPP! They also have a volume of
23,50% on Spot up plays, where they struggle again by being just 19th
in the league with 0.90 PPP! We are talking about 40% of their shots in
here! Another sign of their terrible offense is the fact that Toney
Douglas and Iman Shumpert are taking more shots than Amare Stoudemire,
something that is completely absurd. The Knicks offense is completely a
mess right now and that won't change today.
On the other side, Orlando has been red hot on their outside
shooting and they are already 4th in the league on spot up plays with
1.07 PPP! On their last three games, they shot 10-32, 16-27 and 11-23
from the 3pts line, a clear demonstration of how lethal they are on
their perimeter game right now. And then, on the interior, they have
Dwight Howard, who continues to dominate down low basically over any
team in the league. Orlando has the better defense and the better
offense on this contest and therefore, I expect them to have little
problems in taking advantage of the Knicks struggles and have a
comfortable win today. I'm taking Orlando in here.
