How to Watch Orlando Magic at New York Knicks on Sunday, December 14

In this story:
ORLANDO, Fla. – A week and a half removed from their first matchup this season, the Orlando Magic and New York Knicks square off again on Sunday night in Orlando. Tipoff from the Kia Center is set for 6 p.m. ET.
This contest was scheduled after both the Magic and Knicks were eliminated in their respective NBA Cup quarterfinal contests on Tuesday and Wednesday. Each team has had some valuable time off heading into the rematch; one Orlando will be hoping to have go differently than the Dec. 3 matchup.
New York ran past Orlando 121-106 in that contest. The Magic trailed by as many as 37 points in the second half and were thoroughly overwhelmed by New York's high-octane offense. Franz Wagner finished with 30 points for the Magic, but he won't play Sunday – missing his third game with the same torn right oblique injury Paolo Banchero will miss his 23rd with.
