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

The New York Knicks outscored the Orlando Magic 54-31 in the second half in a 108-85 result. Orlando dropped to 19-14 this season.

On Friday night, New York showed they can be just as good without their ace in the hole. The Knicks' dominant 108-85 win over the Orlando Magic came in a way that turns heads with the team just hitting four three-pointers the entire night.

The Magic are giving their home crowd exactly what they were hoping for. They have jumped out to a 57-56 lead against the Knicks. The Magic came into the matchup with some extra motivation after the defeat they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off.

Winning has become a habit for the New York Knicks, who faced the Orlando Magic on the road. This season, the Knicks have successfully held an opponent under 90 points for the second time.

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.

New York has added a sense of physicality and defensive prowess to their repertoire in recent weeks. It's a big reason why the Knicks have won six games in a row, and appear to be turning a corner as a collective unit.

The Knicks take the court after defeating the San Antonio Spurs on Christmas Day while the Magic lost last night at home to Miami. New York is currently 10-6 on the road with a point differential of +7, while the Magic have a 7-3 record in their last ten games at home.

The NBA's five-game lineup on Christmas Day delivered against a crowded sports landscape in which the NFL (and Beyoncé) tried to make waves of their own on the Wednesday holiday. Kevin O'Connor is joined by Yahoo Sports contributor Tom Haberstroh to break down all five games from the Christmas day slate.

The Knicks won their sixth consecutive game on Friday night in Orlando, beating the Magic 108-85 thanks to some stout defense.

The Magic had their moments, fueled by a hot start from Jalen Suggs, who scored 27 points on 10-of-20 shooting.
