Key Stats
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a dreadful loss to the Chicago Bulls 142-110. In the loss to the Bulls, Tyrese Maxey was dreadful, with only 13 points on 3/10 shooting. Paul George had a solid game by this season’s PG standards. PG finished with 19 points and four stocks on 8/16 shooting. With a record of 20-37, they currently sit in 12th place in the Eastern Conference. With Philly losing eight straight, their season is on the brink of being too deep in a hole to climb out of. It’s always something with this team.
Defensively, the 76ers are a below-average team. They are ranked 17th in points allowed per game, 30th in opponent field goal %, 27th in opponent 3-point field goal %, 28th in blocks per game, 4th in steals per game, 30th in rebounds per game, and 24th in defensive rating. Regarding injuries, Joel Embiid and Guerschon Yabusele have already been ruled out for this game in New York. Over their last ten games, they have a record of 1-9, including 1-9-0 against the spread in that stretch.
New York Knicks
The New York Knicks are coming off a brutal loss on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers, 118-105. Karl-Anthony Towns was solid in the loss, with 24 points and 18 rebounds. He has been great since joining the Knicks. Josh Hart finished with a double-double, 20 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists. Jalen Brunson was subpar with 22 points and four assists while shooting 9/19 from the floor. With a record of 37-20 on the season, the Knicks are in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference.
This is a subpar team defensively, which is interesting, considering that Tom Thibodeau-coached teams are always great defensively. They are ranked 14th in points allowed per game, 25th in opponent field goal percentage, 30th in opponent 3-point field goal percentage, 29th in blocks per game, 16th in steals per game, 24th in rebounds per game, and 20th in defensive rating. Regarding injuries, Karl-Anthony Towns is currently listed as questionable with a knee injury. With a record of 6-4 over their last ten games, including 3-7-0 against the spread, the Knicks are in a great spot to snap their two-game losing stream.
Prediction
The New York Knickwillto pulverize the Philadelphia 76ers at home and cover the 10-point spread in this game. The 76ers are injury-riddled without their best player, Joel Embiid, and Guerschon Yabusele, a solid role player. The Knicks have too much talent for Philly to keep it close. Jalen Brunson and KAT should dominate this game. I expect both players to combine for 55+ points. The New York Knicks will dominate this game and cruise to a double-digit win at home against the terrible Philadelphia 76ers.
Final Pick
New York Knicks -10 (-112)
