New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
The Knicks smoked the 76ers last month, and they’ll have the best player on the court here with Embiid still out. However, the Knicks have their fair share of injuries as well as Randle and Anunoby are out, while Hartenstein, DiVincenzo and Bogdanovic remain on the injury list. Two banged up teams, so I’m going to lean toward the 76ers at home in this near pick em spot. It’s the 76ers or pass for me.
