OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free pick and preview Tuesday on the New York Knicks (+7.5) at Orlando.

Reasoning: Why not? No I don’t believe that the addition of Carmelo Anthony is going to make this team complete and vie for a championship just yet but after the great win in Miami and with a day off to rest up I’ll grab a touchdown or so with the new look Knicks.

If nothing else ‘Melo, Amare Stoudemire, Chauncey Billups and the rest of these current New Yorkers are fun as heck to watch and root for. That doesn’t mean they’ll cover tonight or any game for that matter but the vibe is pretty darn good right now and I’m not afraid of the Magic at this point with all of their inconsistencies. Dwight Howard is a beast and a guy that is not going to be completely stopped by anybody but Stoudemire will compete down low and it just wouldn’t completely shock me if Mike D’Antoni’s boys can ride the momentum from South Beach all the way here into the Magic Kingdom. Plus besides Howard Orlando is lacking in the size department in a big-time way.

Stan Van Gundy’s team has been very mediocre at times this season and then very good at times this season. I’m not completely sure whether Mr. Jekyll or Hyde will show up tonight but the Knicks are quite a talented team, at least offensively, and I’ll take my chances on them at this pretty large number.

Top expert pick on this game: Matt Rivers New York

For more information: If all plays could be like Notre Dame last night, wow! I said that Villanova was turning into a piece of garbage but I didn’t realize it was that bad, but I’m certainly not complaining one bit.

Two plays today including Raising that Bar with a 400,000* Underdog Outright winner plus a bonus 200,000* dog that will also rise up and kept things a lot closer than the oddsmaker seems to believe. A pair of pups that are going to bark with conviction leading to a full 600,000* of pure profit! The entire Rivers card is up
