New York Knicks – Brooklyn Nets: 23.03.2024 18:00 CEST
After losing to the Denver Nuggets, the Knicks dropped to the 5th seed. They desperately need to win tonight in order to get back to the 3rd seed. The undermanned Knicks fought really hard against the Nuggets and kept the game close for most of the time. The Knicks are done with the road trip as they managed to get 3 wins and only one loss. Now they have a little bit better schedule ahead of them. They will play two games at home, the first one tonight against the Nets and the second one against the Pistons. Two winnable games. If they manage to win both games, they might get to the 2nd seed! The injury report still does not look good for them. Mitchell Robinson, Julius Randle and OG Anunoby are still out indefinitely. The Nets are in terrible form. They are on a 5-game losing streak. While they still have some chances to reach the play-in tournament, it looks like the season is over for them. They are without Ben Simmons for the remainder of the season. Keon Johnson is day to day and Dennis Smith Jr. is probable for tonight! Other than that, they look fine. All being said, we believe that the Knicks will win easily tonight. They love to play against their rivals in Madison Square Garden. We know that even without the key players, the Knicks have good depth to cover for them. The New York Knicks will cover the spread easily tonight!

Orlando Magic – Sacramento Kings: 24.03.2024 00:00 CEST
The Orlando Magic are one of the toughest teams in the league right now. They are on a 5-game winning streak. With their last win, the Magic surpassed the Knicks, and now they are just one game away from the 2nd seed! Tonight will be a big chance for them to win in front of their home crowd and get that 2nd seed. The fact that they won their last 5 by a margin of at least 8 points tells you a lot! They are lucky that they are all healthy except for Gary Harris who is questionable for tonight. Suggs and Banchero distribute the ball really well, and they involve their teammates exceptionally well. This team is young, and their team chemistry is on top! They will play at home tonight against the Kings. The Sacramento Kings are also playing well. They are fighting for the playoff spot in the West. The Kings are currently at the 8th seed, but the LA Lakers and the Warriors are threatening them. However, they are still only one game away from the 6th seed that leads directly into the playoffs. The Kings suffered a pretty rough loss against the Wizards in the last game. They will be missing Trey Lyles and Kevin Huerter tonight. We believe that the Magic are a better team at the moment. Home court advantage is a big thing, and we believe that they will keep their winning streak. This game is of huge importance to them, and we trust them tonight!
