76ers vs Knicks

Jalen Brunson, who continues to create magic for the Knicks during their three-game winning streak, is fully active, while Philadelphia remains stuck in its five-game slide and reportedly still dealing with James Harden’s foot concern. Historically, the Knicks have dominated at Madison Square Garden in these matchups, and with Julius Randle back to full strength, the scales tip heavily in New York’s favor. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers, currently enduring a four-game losing skid, aim to break their slump against the surging New York Knicks, winners of their last three. According to active rosters, Tyrese Maxey remains sidelined with a lingering injury, which puts more onus on Embiid’s offensive load in Philly’s quest to outperform a Knicks squad that’s largely healthy, led by Jalen Brunson. Historically, the 76ers have struggled under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden, dropping six of their last eight visits. Given the Knicks’ recent dominance and Philadelphia’s leaky defense, betting Over 223.5 at (-110) could yield a decent return and earns a strong B+ rating for its likelihood of hitting and solid monetary upside. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Joel Embiid, who remains active per current team listings, looks determined to break Philadelphia’s bleak five-game skid against a New York squad riding a solid three-game run. Even with Tobias Harris battling minor soreness, the 76ers appear set to compete, while the Knicks miss a key interior presence on their bench. Historically, New York has defended home court well against Eastern Conference opponents, but Philly manages to keep many matchups tighter than expected. Taking the 76ers to cover +14 earned our B+ grade, combining a reliable shot at success with decent earnings if they deliver. A shocking turnaround might be on the horizon for Philadelphia. Odds and availability are subject to change.
