The New York Knicks (18-7) have done a nice job of winning the games they are supposed to lately, and they did so again after earning a 132-120 NBA Cup Semifinals victory over the injury-hampered Orlando Magic (15-11) on Saturday.

Jalen Brunson got hot in Las Vegas at the right time. The Knicks' All-NBA point guard dropped his first 40-point game of the season on the Magic, plus dished out eight assists, to put New York into the championship game of the NBA Cup. Tuesday night in Vegas the Knicks will take on Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in the title game.

The Magic and Knicks square off first in a game that could provide fans a preview of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks and Magic are among the best teams in the East this season, with New York coming into the game on a four-game winning streak.

If the Milwaukee Bucks end up in a situation where they have to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo, a new suitor from the Western Conference has emerged as a potential landing spot.

Knicks small forward OG Anunoby is ready for a rematch against Desmond Bane and the Orlando Magic in the NBA Cup.
