They are 1-8 straight up and 3-6 ATS in nine home meetings with the Western Conference this season including a 115-104 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves this past Friday when the Knicks were listed as 7-point underdogs. On the other side, the San Antonio Spurs (33-27; 32-28 ATS) are coming off a narrow 120-117 defeat at the Toronto Raptors Friday night to record their fifth loss over the last six outings. The Spurs are 4-8 straight up and 5-7 ATS in their last 12 games on the road, and the over is 10-2 during that span.
San Antonio is 4-4 straight up and 6-2 ATS in its eight road meetings with the Eastern Conference this season, while the Spurs are 5-2 straight up and 3-4 ATS in their last seven road games when listed as favorites.

The Orlando Magic (27-33; 32-27-1 ATS) suffered a painful 110-109 defeat to the Chicago Bulls Friday night to snap its five-game winning streak. Orlando remained at the 10th spot of the Eastern Conference table, but the Magic is still in the mix. Still, Orlando desperately needs an upset on this one, opening as a 9.5-point underdog with the total at 219.5 points. The Magic is 7-2 straight up and ATS in its last nine games overall, and is 4-3 straight up and 6-1 ATS in its previous seven showings on the road.
