The New York Knicks head to Kia Center to face the Orlando Magic in an Eastern Conference matchup. Both teams are fighting to take the top of their conference.

The latest on player health and status for Friday night's matchup between the Orlando Magic and New York Knicks.

After the New York Knicks lost a hard-fought contest to the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder, they had to quickly turn around and play the second game of a back-to-back against the Chicago Bulls . With each starter playing over 40 minutes of action in Friday's loss, it was clear New York was exhausted going into Saturday night.

It was a working weekend for the New York Knicks, who have lost two in a row for the first time in nearly two months.

Jalen Brunson had 26 points and nine assists, Josh Hart added 23 points and 13 rebounds and the New York Knicks extended their winning streak to six games with a 108-85 win over the Orlando Magic.

The Knicks offense can be as scary as it gets. Anyone can get you at any time. At halftime, every starter except Towns had double-digit points, and he went into the locker room with 8 points and 13 rebounds. Nothing to sneeze at.

The Orlando Magic are no strangers to playing shorthanded this season. That reaches a new level on Sunday evening.

The New York Knicks are struggling with mediocrity following back-to-back losses to the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Chicago Bulls. Their defensive rating has been among the worst during this two-game stretch.
