Pre-Game: Magic vs. Knicks 1:00 PM

The New York Knicks will host the Orlando Magic today at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks are coming off a two game road trip that ended in two losses. They have struggled to find any consistency. Carmelo Anthony is a game-time decision today as he tries to recover from a sprained right ankle.

Today the Orlando Magic come to town and they are playing really well this season. Dwight Howard has played spectacular for them and is showing that he may want to stay. This Magic team has played together for a while so they do pose a threat.

The Knicks are at home and are starting to play better there, but today they must start well and end well if they want this win. This game is very important simply because they are at home in front of their fans. Amare Stoudemire will need to show a better effort tonight in order for a win. Iman Shumpert needs to stick to what was working for him. Both players have struggled the last two games, but the Knicks need both to play hard.

This game is worth watching for the simple fact that the Knicks matchup better against the Magic then the last two games. The prime scorer is Dwight Howard and the rest of the team can shoot. If the Knicks stay up on their man they can win this game.

This game can be watched on MSG at 1:00 PM
