NBA Summer League: Thursday's Picks

A pair of teams trying to improve on disappointing regular seasons square off tonight at the NBA Summer League as the Orlando Magic face the New York Knicks in Las Vegas. Game time is 7:30 pm ET at Thomas & Mack Center.

So far, so good as each team has picked up victories in two of their first three games. The Magic are coming off their first loss of the summer league as they sat No. 1 draft pick Paolo Banchero in an 84-81 setback against Oklahoma City on Monday. The Knicks lost on Monday as well as they struggled from the field (38.2 percent on 29 of 76 shooting) in an 88-77 defeat against Portland.

Dunkel has the Knicks bouncing back tonight with a victory and covering the Vegas line of -4 while the final score stays UNDER the Vegas total of 174.5.  

Dunkel’s Pick: New York (-4); Under.
