New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/10/26

Only the OKC Thunder have left a better impression on me this postseason, than the New York Knicks have. Brunson and co. are going for the sweep on Sunday as they face the 76ers in Game 4. Despite no OG Anunoby and a poor performance from KAT, New York found a way to get an important win in Game 3, holding Philly to just 9 threes made and outrebounding them by 16. The rebounding part is a clear indicator of effort on most nights and the Knicks just wanted it more in Game 3. Finishing the job on Sunday would do wonders for them, so the Knicks would get plenty of rest before the Conference Finals began in case the Pistons vs Cavaliers series went the distance.

For Philly pride is at stake here. Embiid has been in and out of the line-up, the rest of the team just hasn’t been able to stay consistent with the big fella struggling to stay on the court. When Kelly Oubre Jr. is your leading scorer with 22 points in a postseason game with Paul George, Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid all playing, something just isn’t right. PG in particular went ice-cold in the 2nd half, finishing the game just 6-for-18 from the field. It’s now been 7 games in a row in which the 76ers have failed to cover at home against the Knicks. They enter Game 4 as slight underdogs according to most oddsmakers.

It’s quite remarkable that the Knicks won the last two games, despite failing to connect on double-digit threes. They’d be foolish to play OG Anunoby here as he recovers from his hamstring injury. Closing out a team on the road is never easy, even if you have the clear 3-0 advantage. I’m willing to give Philadelphia the benefit of the doubt and back them to win at least one game in this series before they go out in Game 5 at MSG. Back Philly.
