Magic get Aaron Gordon and Vucevic back for Knicks game
The Orlando Magic are getting a dose of good news while the last three weeks have been nothing but bad news for the New York Knicks.
Gordon leads the team in scoring at 18.4 points per game. He is shooting 44.7 percent after shooting 32.8 percent in his last seven games following a 30-point showing against Cleveland on Jan. 6.
The Magic were 7-16 without Vucevic and most of the losses piled up early in his absence.
Vucevic is third on the team at 17.4 points per game and leads the team in rebounding with 9.3. Before getting hurt, he was averaging 22.1 points and 13 rebounds in his previous eight games.
Instead of going on vacation during the All-Star break, Vucevic continued working out to improve his conditioning.
The New York Knicks have lost eight straight and covered the spread just once during that stretch. HC Jeff Hornacek said he is going to start some of their younger players and see what happens. That tells me they are tanking the rest of the season.
The ORL MAGIC has played well and should get better with 2 returning starters as they headed into the All Star break off three straight losses, but all by single digits and they've battled hard in recent weeks covering the spread in five of their last six (13-3 ATS in their last 16) games. Look for Orlando to come out strong here at home.
