Knicks at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 119, 76ers 116

Moneyline

BET KNICKS (-105).

Philadelphia has dropped 5 games in a row at home and is still struggling to find its identity without Embiid. It is just 3-7 in its last 10 games and has scored 107 or fewer points in 5 of its last 10 while allowing at least 118 or more in 8 of its last 10. Led by Brunson, New York will get back into the win column Thursday evening.

Against the spread

PASS.

The ML presents a better opportunity for profit.

Over/Under

BET OVER 228.5 (-110).

The Sixers have scored at least 119 points in 3 of their last 4 games and have allowed at least 121 in 6 of their last 10. New York has hit the Over in 3 of its last 5 games and has given up at least 118 points in 3 of its last 4. A lower total combined with fresh legs off of the All-Star break is the perfect combination for the Over to hit.
