76ers at Knicks Picks and Predictions
Prediction
Knicks 108, 76ers 98
Money line
PASS.
The Knicks (-300) will win this game but I’m not betting 3 units to win back 1, the juice just isn’t worth it. I will keep my bet for the spread in this game.
Against the spread
KNICKS BET -6.5 (-105).
The 76ers are 5-9 since C Joel Embiid was injured on February 5. Now you compound that by losing Maxey for this match to a concussion. It will be an uphill climb for Philadelphia in New York on Sunday.
Philadelphia has covered just one game in their last 7 games while the Knicks have covered both games against the 76ers this season and 2 of their last 3. New York is 9 games over .500 at home.
More less
BET UNDER 211.5 (-110).
You need to follow the trends in this one. The Knicks have been Under in 8 of their last 10 while the 76ers have been Under in 7 of 10. In their last 6 meetings, the Under have conceded 4 times.
It’s been 12 games since New York reached 115 points. They are the 2nd best defensive team in the NBA, allowing just 109.3 points per game. It will be a tough task for Philadelphia to get things going offensively.
