The New York Knicks are traveling south to take on the Orlando Magic. Here’s a look at everything you need to know for Friday Night Knicks.

New York Knicks had a day to breathe after a wild double-overtime win on Wednesday, but it’s back to the grindstone.

The Knicks have a home-and-home series with the Orlando Magic on Friday and Sunday. Evan Fournier will have a shot at another former team after dropping 32 points on the Boston Celtics.
