Sucks for the Knicks. Even though they are staring at a top 5 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, they still have to play out the last 6 games of their schedule. Too bad for them they came across the playoff hungry Magic who will rock them, just like last time.

The Knicks don't have much to play for; and already have lost Curry and Marbury for the season. They routinely get beat and play lacksadaisical ball, so losing to these Knicks are not an option.

But good new for the Magic is that Dwight Howard has had eight 20-20 games. Two of them have come against the New York Knicks. He will make sure to bounce back with a monster game, like always, and what a great team to do it against tonight. This season Orlando has had three double-digit wins against the Knicks and we can sweep them for the first time since going 4-0 in 2001-02. Hedo Turkoglu is averaging 24.0 points and Rashard Lewis 22.7 against New York, this season.

New York is playing its first home game since naming Donnie Walsh president of basketball operations on Wednesday. The Knicks completed an 0-5 road trip with Friday’s 118-110 loss at New Orleans. Knicks coach Isiah Thomas has been booed constantly during home games, but isn’t worried about the status of his job with Walsh in charge. The Knicks have lost 17 of their last 19 games, with both wins coming against league-worst Miami.
