New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers should be favored at home against a Knicks team they’ve won 4 of the last 6 meetings against. However, this line isn’t showing much love toward a feisty Knicks team that competes every night and has looked good with the addition of Anunoby. Both the Knicks and 76ers are fairly healthy, and this feels like a physical game that could come down to the wire. Give me the Knicks and the points.
