The New York Knicks (7-3) look to keep their hot streak rolling as they host the Orlando Magic (5-6) at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, aiming for a sixth straight victory.
Orlando, after stumbling out of the gate early in the season, have quietly found their rhythm, winning four of their last six. Their latest triumph came in dramatic fashion on Monday, when they edged out Portland with a buzzer-beater on home court. That win lifted the Magic to 5-6 overall, placing them third in the Southeast Division, just two games adrift of division leaders, the Miami Heat.
The Knicks, meanwhile, were back in action Tuesday night against Memphis, riding the momentum of a five-game winning run. Heading into that matchup, New York sat at 6-3 and narrowly led the Philadelphia 76ers by half a game atop the Atlantic Division standings. Earlier this month, the Knicks made light work of Washington, cruising to a 119-102 home victory in the second leg of their only back-to-back set this season, a result that perfectly captured their current swagger and cohesion.
