76ers at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 105, 76ers 102
Moneyline
The Knicks (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too risky. New York is coming off a 73-point performance in a score which resembled a college game rather than an NBA contest.
PASS as a standalone wager.
Against the spread
The 76ERS +6 (-108) is the play catching 3 buckets. Philadelphia scratched out a low-scoring 6-point win as a 7-point underdog last time out. There is plenty of risk here, as Philly is just 3-7-1 ATS in the past 11 games.
However, the Knicks -6 (-112) are even colder against the number, going 3-12 ATS in the past 15 contests. There isn’t a lot of believe in Philly, so go lightly.
Over/Under
UNDER 209 (-110) is the best play on the board in the 2nd end of this back-to-back set.
The Under has hit in the past 2 games for Philadelphia, while going 8-3 in the previous 11 outings. That includes 2 meetings with New York. In fact, the total has gone low in all 3 battles this season.
The Knicks have hit the Under in 8 of the past 9 outings, and an amazing 26 of the past 32 contests.
