Joel Embiid is averaging 21 points and five assists, while Seth Curry is averaging 20.3 points and 1.7 assists.

The Philadelphia 76ers are off to a solid start, mainly on the offensive side, but they’re a banged up team that’s hard to trust against respectable opponents. Ben Simmons is still out, while Joel Embiid, Andre Drummond and Shake Milton are questionable with injuries. The New York Knicks are at home and will be eager for a bounce back showing after a loss to the Magic.

Give me the Knicks and the free bucket.
