76ers vs Knicks Prediction

The Knicks look like they’re finding their footing with back-to-back wins, but I’m still grabbing the bucket with the 76ers. The 76ers already beat the Knicks this season, and now they’re at home where they’ve played their best basketball. The Knicks are 1-4 ATS on the season and have failed to cover six of their last eight games overall.

While I’m not as high on the 76ers as most of the betting public appears to be, there’s going to be value with them in the underdog role due to the talent level. This seems like too much respect for the Knicks, who have been a bit sluggish out of the gate. I’m going to grab the bucket with the 76ers in a game they could win outright.
