Magic vs. Knicks: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Spread Info and More

The New York Knicks and Orlando Magic are on opposite sides of the court—literally and figuratively—coming into this Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day showdown.

The Knickerbockers are riding a two-game losing streak after ripping off four straight wins, and the Magic have won three straight.

Both teams are fighting for footing in the Eastern Conference, and both are in the playoff picture as of now.

Today's clash is a preview of a potential playoff matchup.

Where: Madison Square Garden; New York, NY

When: Monday, Jan 16—1 p.m. EST

Watch: MSG

Live Stream: NBA.com

Line (according to ScoresandOdds.com): Magic -2

The Magic are favored by two points, but the Knicks are returning home for the first time since their win over Philadelphia five days ago.

Orlando is closing out a four-game road stretch despite not having played since Thursday. Both teams are due—Knicks for a win and Magic for a loss—this time around.

The underlying theme of this game will be more trade talk involving both teams and Dwight Howard. New Yorkers are never satisfied, and things will only continue to heat up as the trade deadline nears.

Prediction: Knicks 97, Magic 91
