Philadelphia 76ers vs NY Knicks Prediction
The NY Knicks have been sluggish over the last week, with losses in 3 of their last 4 games, and now they go into a tough venue in Philly. The Philadelphia 76ers not only have Paul George starting to cook, but this will be the season debut of Joel Embiid. With the crowd and it being a tournament game, this feels like a spot where the 76ers can start to get rolling against a rival. Should be a hard-fought game from both sides. Give me the free bucket.
