The New York Knicks travel to Florida to play the Orlando Magic at Amway Center on Sunday.

The Knicks (4-12) come into this matchup losing four-straight and six of their last seven games in total. Some of those losses have been downright ugly too, with New York losing four of those games by at least 13 points. The inconsistencies in the rotation has to play a factor in the struggles, as no one's job is truly safe. Tim Hardaway Jr. is the only constant in the starting lineup and it's no surprise when looking at his numbers. He currently leads this team with 23.4 points per game, as he's really taken his game to another level. He can't do it all on his own though, as Enes Kanter is the only other player averaging more than 11 points per game. Kanter is actually averaging a double-double for the season but he was recently moved to the bench for an unknown reason. It's already difficult enough for young players to find their roles and rotation moves like this make it even harder on the players to know their roles. Kevin Knox was recently moved into the starting lineup as well and Knicks fans are just hopeful that he can stay healthy and develop into the superstar that they need.

The Magic (8-8) have really turned things around over recent weeks, as they come into this matchup winning six of their last eight games. It's not like their undeserving wins either, as they've come against teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs. Where they've really seen an improvement in that stretch is in their offense, with the Magic averaging 115 points per game in those victories. That has risen them up to 25th in scoring, as that really shows how badly they were struggling before this mini-surge. The defense has been dependable all season though, with Orlando ranking eighth in points allowed. Nikola Vucevic has really been the catalyst, as his 36-point, 13-rebound gem in his most recent game emphasizes the sort of season he's having. Many people had Vucevic pegged as a trade deadline target headed into the year but if he continues to play like this and the Magic continue to win games, it seems way more likely that he'll remain in Orlando.

Orlando dominated their one meeting with New York earlier this season, beating them 115-89 on November 11. They've now won four of their last five games over the Knicks in total.
