Knicks vs 76ers Prediction
I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk with the Knicks, a team that’s still down key players and has allowed teams to hang around at times. The Knicks are just 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games as a double-digit favorite, and they’ve lost twice under the 2025 calendar as a double-digit favorite. However, the 76ers simply aren’t fielding an NBA roster at this point with all of their injuries, and they’re 26-49 ATS on the season.
The 76ers have the worst cover percentage in the NBA. You’re sitting on a pile of cash if you’ve blindly faded the 76ers all season. It’s a thick line, but it beats the alternative. Give me the Knicks.
