Up the ball to Orlando Magic-New York Knicks NBA 

The franchise struggles to be something extra with so many high recruiting choices in recent years. As it has been used to being at the bottom of the table, it usually picks high in the draft. It will hardly win anything in the next few years, focusing on developing the good values it currently has on the roster. The Magic have 30 wins and 43 losses, with a -2 record at home (17-19).

Tom Thibodeau has found the team's rhythm with Jalen Brunson commanding the offensive actions, while Randle helps out in switches and mid-range and long-range shots. RJ Barret is always geared up to shoot threes, and Mitchel Robinson tries to control the action in the paint. Still, it is a somewhat individualistic team, averaging 22 assists per game, the lowest in the Eastern Conference. They are 42 wins and 32 losses, with the future well on track and guaranteeing a spot in the playoffs so far.

The first two games between the teams ended with scores below 220 points. The first game ended 115-102, and the second 102-98. Aside from the production ceiling dropping from one game to the next, these are not teams with an arsenal for 120 points per game. In the Knicks' last 10 games they averaged 118 points given up to the opposition, but it is worth mentioning that they faced Minnesota, Denver, Portland, Sacramento, Miami, Boston and Los Angeles (Clippers and Lakers). Hardly will Magic produce in a big way and note more than 112 points.

Even playing away from home, the Knicks have a certain advantage in this game against the Orlando Magic and have a golden chance to rehabilitate from recent bad form. For this reason, I'm going New York to win and 'sweep' the regular season series against their Florida rival!

In the most recent game against the Heat, away from home, last Wednesday night, the New York franchise lost by 127 to 120, hitting 51.2% of its shots and 40% of its three-point shots. Individually, the best Knicks players during the setback were RJ Barrett, with 26 points, six rebounds and five assists, and Jalen Brunson, responsible for 25 points, six rebounds and six assists. The New York Knicks are without Duane Washington Jr., while Trevor Keels is doubtful.

Coach Tom Thibodeau's Knicks, on the other hand, are fifth in the East with a record of 42 wins and 32 losses. The team has been on a roll recently, with five wins and five losses in the last ten games, and has lost the last two meetings against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Miami Heat.

Also playing at home, the Florida franchise won 122-112 last Tuesday night, shooting 53.8% from the field and 44.4% from three-point range. The Magic's brightest stars in the game were Gary Harris, with 22 points, two rebounds, two steals and two blocks, and freshman Paolo Banchero, with 18 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, going close to a triple-double. The Orlando Magic arrive with the absence of Jalen Suggs and Jonathan Isaac.

Led by Jamahl Mosley, the Magic are still in the second-bottom position in the East, with 30 wins and 43 losses. And, despite the remote chances of qualifying for the play-in, the team keeps dreaming. In the last ten games, they have lost six, but the team is coming off a recent victory over the Washington Wizards.

Those who watch the NBA live throughout the regular season anxiously await the playoffs, when the 8 best teams from each franchise compete in best-of-7 games for the chance to reach the ultimate glory: the NBA championship title.
Before the playoffs, however, the league holds a Play-In, a sort of "playoff" that began to be played in 2020, the year in which the season was ended in a "bubble" because of the Covid pandemic.
In the Play-In, the franchises that finish seventh through tenth in each of the conferences play a single-game playoff, like this:

- The 7th place finisher from each conference faces the 8th place finisher. The winner of that game is in the playoffs.
- The 9th place team faces the 10th place team. The winner of this game earns the right to play for the last playoff spot against the loser of the 7th-place match.

The New York Knicks are in 5th place in the Eastern Conference. The team comes to the game with a negative sequence: the team lost the last duel it played. The Orlando Magic have 42 wins and 31 losses in 73 meetings.

The Orlando Magic are in 13th place in the Eastern Conference. The team comes into the game with a positive streak: the team won the last duel it played. The Orlando Magic have 30 wins and 43 losses from 73 games played.

The NBA (National Basketball Association) is the national basketball league in the United States, with 30 teams divided into two groups, separated by the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. The league was founded on June 6, 1946, as the BAA (Basketball Association of America), but three years later it merged with the NBL (National Basketball League), becoming the NBA we know today.
The first winner was the Los Angeles Lakers, who spliced four titles in a row with an early dynasty in the league. It was only halted by the Golden State Warriors, and soon after by the Baltimore Bullets.

Today, the Lakers, together with the Boston Celtics, are the NBA's biggest winners, with 17 titles each. Golden State Warriors are right behind with seven, where they have achieved another dynasty in the league with Stephen Curry, Klay Thomspon, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green.

The league also divides the awards by sectors. The most valuable is MVP, where they elect the best athlete in the league based only on the regular season. Right after that, there are awards for the best coach, best executive, sixth man, rookie and several others. Currently, the player with the most MVP awards is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, with six. Next, Michael Jordan has five, along with Bill Russell. LeBron James, still active, has four awards.

The defending league champions are the Golden State Warriors, where they defeated the Boston Celtics 4-2 in the final. The Warriors finished in third place in the Western Conference, passing the Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, and Dallas Mavericks in the postseason to win the tournament. Forward Nikola Jokic is the reigning MVP of the season, where he won for the second time in a row. Stephen Curry, the Warriors' point guard, is the reigning Finals MVP.

The current season has great teams such as the Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, and Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference, while the Phoenix Suns, Memphis Girzzlies, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, and Los Angeles Clippers compete for the top spots in the Western Conference. Still, there are teams that are favorites to get further ahead, such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks, Portland Trail Blazers, and LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers.

Finally, big stars are candidates for the MVP award, such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant, Ja Morant, Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and LeBron James.

In addition to this division based on east and west, NBA guesses today must also take into consideration the divisions. The divisions of this league and their respective teams are as follows:

- Atlantic: Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers e Toronto Raptors.

- Central: Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks.

- Southeast: Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards.

- Northwest: Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz.

- Pacific: Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings.

- Southwest: Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, San Antonio Spurs.
