76ers vs Knicks prediction
76ers vs Knicks best bet: Knicks moneyline (-135)
The New York Knicks look primed to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers. New York has been dominant at MSG and has a terrific opportunity to avenge a December home loss on this very court.
While Philadelphia relies heavily on Tyrese Maxey’s scoring, the Knicks boast a far more balanced offensive attack led by Jalen Brunson (29.2 ppg). Strong defense and frontcourt physicality should stifle a 76ers roster still managing Joel Embiid’s limited mobility.
By controlling the glass and utilizing Mikal Bridges to pressure the perimeter, the Knicks should wear down Philadelphia’s thin rotation and secure a decisive victory.
