Knicks at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 120, Knicks 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The 76ers are the hotter team and should come out on top at home. However, at -250, there's no point in playing them to win outright.

Against the spread

BET 76ERS -6.5 (-110).

The 76ers have been covering at a high rate at home. They are a league-best 13-4 ATS at home.

Philadelphia will also have Embiid active while Robinson, typically the Knicks starting center, is sidelined. That dynamic should bode well for Philadelphia as Embiid uses his size to dominate.

New York has also struggled to cover as of late, failing to cover in 3 straight games road games and in 4 of its last 6 away from home. Considering that and the injuries for this one, back 76ERS -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 229 (-110).

The Knicks and 76ers have both hit the Over at a high rate this season. New York is 3-3 O/U in its last 6 and 18-16 O/U this season. It has scored 112 or more in 3 straight games. It is 10-6 O/U since the start of December.

The 76ers are 20-12-1 O/U this season and have gone Over in 4 of their last 7. They have scored at least 120 in 3 of their last 7 games. Both teams rank in the top ten in offensive rating, so expect an efficient performance from each side Friday.

Take OVER 229 (-110).
