What you need to know about the Knicks
Everything went New York's way against the Magic as the Knicks made off with a 98-74 win on Friday. The Knicks welcomed back Jalen Brunson from a knee injury against Orlando, and he led the way with 26 points. For the season, Brunson averages 27.2 points, 6.5 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game.
The Knicks are 4-8 in their last 12 games overall, but New York has won seven of its last 10 games played on a Sunday. However, the Knicks are just 1-9 against the spread in their past 10 games at home.
What you need to know about the 76ers
Meanwhile, the 76ers' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their third straight defeat. They took a 103-95 hit to the loss column at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans. The 76ers were down 84-61 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
The 76ers' loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Tobias Harris, who dropped a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds, and Paul Reed, who racked up 17 points and 11 rebounds. The 76ers are 10-2 in their last 12 games on the road against the Knicks, but they're 1-6 against the spread in their past seven games against an opponent from the Eastern Conference.
