The vibes surrounding these two teams couldn’t be much more different right now. Despite New York having the superior record, their fans, due to the expectations of this team, have spent much of the past weekend frustrated with their recent two-game losing streak that included a pair of blown double-digit leads. Meanwhile, Orlando has quickly gained the respect of fans all around the league for playing hard every night and somehow staying afloat despite seeing their best players go down with injuries and missing significant time. While they, too, are coming off of a bad loss, there are reports that star forward Paolo Banchero isn’t too far off from returning, giving fans plenty of hope moving forward.
