Knicks vs 76ers Prediction
The Knicks have covered just three of their last 10 games, and there’s a chance they could be without Karl-Anthony Towns. I’m not excited to lay a big number with the Knicks here. However, it doesn’t get much worse than the 76ers, a team that’s 17 games below a .500 record and 20-37 ATS. The 76ers have failed to cover nine of their last 10 games. You’re ready for retirement if you blindly faded the 76ers all season long. The 76ers are tied with the Suns for the worst cover percentage in the NBA at 35.09 percent. Keep fading the team from the brotherly love. Give me the Knicks on Wednesday night.
