NBA: 3-2 +0.85
Game: New York Knicks at Orlando Magic (Friday 12/31 1:00 CET)
This one looks very clear for me with new look of Magic right now after trade because both teams are going to run a lot, shoot fastly and combine a big score. The Knicks are well-known for being an overish team - firstly cause of coach D'Antoni fact, who's a run and gun style of trainer and secondly because of lack of big men in the team, having Stoudemire in the frontcourt, which is affecting to their game plan a lot. Knicks are averaging 107.6 points per game, which is a really big number and actually I think that they've got a serious chance of scoring about 105-110 points in here. The number is few points lower due to statistics most probably, as for example hosts are averaging only 97.1 points per game, however since new players arrived, they're 4-2 O/U and scored 110 and 104 points in last two games. What's more in latest meetings between these two there were always high scores as there's 3-0 O/U and in all of these games there were at least 215 points (and Magic was totally different team back then). Right now with good perimeter players like Nelson, Richardson, Turkoglu, Arenas or Anderson, they should be shooting a lot from longer distance, after 10-15 seconds of action. The same will be with Knicks but we're all used to see them playing wildly. Game total line ain't actually low, however 211 points is still achievable easily for these two and I'm betting the OVER.
Pick: 1 unit on Game Total OVER 211 points @ 1.917
