ABOUT THE MAGIC (15-30): Orlando has struggled to get stops lately, allowing 100 points or more in a season-high seven straight games. The Magic have allowed their last two opponents to torch them, falling 127-99 to Oklahoma City on Sunday before being beaten 128-118 at Detroit on Wednesday. Orlando needs to step it up defensively in order to stop wasting strong offensive efforts from leading scorer Nikola Vucevic (19 points, 11.1 rebounds) and guard Victor Oladipo (16.5 points), who are both averaging more than 23 points over the past five games.
ABOUT THE KNICKS (7-36): New York has won consecutive games for the first time since claiming its second and third games of the season. The winning streak has coincided with rookie Langston Galloway (11.8 points) moving into the starting lineup and averaging 16 points over the past two contests. Anthony (24 points, 6.7 rebounds) has put up big numbers in three games since returning from a six-game absence, including 27 points and 11 rebounds in Wednesday's 98-91 win at Philadelphia.
