Reasoning
The recent struggles of the New York Knicks have been well documented. While they were able to end their 4-game losing streak with dominant display against the Brooklyn Nets, they could find it harder up against the Philadelphia 76ers here. The Knicks have struggled on their travels this season, winning just 8 of 20 games. They also have Karl-Anthony Towns listed as questionable, which is not something you want when going up against Joel Embiid. The 76ers superstar has scored 30 or more points in each of his last 3 games. If the Knicks cannot match his offensive production from the center position, getting a win could be tricky on the road.
Efficiency has been an issue for the Knicks, with the team sitting at 23rd in true shooting percentage over the last 10 games. With the 76ers knocking on the doors of the top 10 in defensive rating, ranking 11th during that stretch, they should be able to contain the visitors. Prior to their game against the Nets, the visitors allowed a number of guards like Max Christie and Devin Booker to score at least 25 points against them. Against a backcourt containing Tyrese Maxey, they could get burned again. After all, the 76ers guard is averaging 33 points per game against them this season, with the 76ers winning both games. It’s hard to look past them today.
