NEW YORK – Tuesday's NBA Cup East Group A clash between the Orlando Magic and New York Knicks won't just decide who advances to the tournament's knockout round as the group's top dog. It'll be seen by a national TV audience inside Madison Square Garden, with tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Orlando has won 12 of its last 13 games – two six-game win streaks sandwiching one loss at the LA Clippers nearly two weeks ago.
