New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic Prediction & Picks, October 25, 2026

Desmond Bane takes the court at Madison Square Garden, and the Knicks have been tough against players like him. They allow a lot of three-point shots, but they also grab a decent amount of rebounds and force turnovers. This means Bane might have to work hard for his points, rebounds, and assists. The numbers suggest he could struggle to reach 27.5 combined. The Knicks give up about 43 rebounds a game, which is pretty average, and they don't force many turnovers, either. Bane might find some opportunities, but he'll have to be on top of his game. The biggest risk is that both teams are pretty close in how they defend. So, while it looks good, nothing is guaranteed.

New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic: Tristan da Silva Under 13.5 Pts + Asts (-112)

Tristan da Silva has a solid chance to go under 13.5 combined points and assists in this game. The Knicks have been tough on defense lately, especially since they let opponents take a lot of three-point shots. This could mean fewer scoring chances for da Silva, especially if he isn't hitting his shots from long range. On top of that, the Knicks also do a decent job at limiting rebounds, which can affect how many assists da Silva might rack up. While he could surprise us, there's a real risk that he might not hit that number, given how close both teams have been performing defensively.

New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic: Desmond Bane Under 3.5 Assists (-108)

Desmond Bane is up against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, and our numbers suggest he might not hit more than 3 assists in this game. The Knicks tend to keep opponents from getting easy passes, allowing only a moderate number of assists. They also give up a fair number of rebounds, which means Bane might have some chances to assist, but the Knicks will be tough on him. Bane's recent form shows he can have off nights, and the Knicks' defense could make it harder for him to find open teammates. Plus, with the Knicks forcing turnovers at a decent rate, Bane might find himself needing to be more careful with his passes. It's a solid pick, but there's always a chance he surprises us.
