Knicks at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 109, 76ers 107

Moneyline

BET KNICKS (-150).

Philadelphia has struggled a lot this season with injuries and the absence of its big man, C Joel Embiid. It is 2-7 straight up/ATS.

While New York is also dealing with injuries, Brunson and company have been hitting on all cylinders offensively. Against a Sixers team coming off a narrow OT win against the Hornets, BET KNICKS (-150).

Against the spread

PASS.

With the Knicks struggling defensively of late, the moneyline is the best play in this matchup.

Over/Under

BET OVER 211.5 (-110).

New York has scored 116 or more points in each of its last 3 games and 5 of its last 6. The Knicks have allowed 121 or more points in 2 of their last 3 games.

Philadelphia has scored 106 or more points in back-to-back games and 4 of its last 5. It has allowed 110 or more points in 4 of its last 5 games.

With a lower-than-average total, BET OVER 211.5 (-110).

New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers Game 6 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers meet for Game 6 of a best-of-7 Eastern Conference, 1st-round series Thursday. With a 3-2 lead, the Knicks hope to finish off the 76ers and avoid a Game 7 Saturday in New York. Thursday’s tip-off from Wells Fargo Center is set for 9 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. 76ers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Knicks seemingly had Tuesday’s Game 5 locked up, about to advance to the 2nd round, as they led by 6 points with just 25 seconds left. That’s when Philly G Tyrese Maxey decided to take over and the 76ers eventually won 112-106 in overtime as 4-point road underdogs — the Over (204) cashed.

Maxey went all Reggie Miller on the Knicks, dropping in 7 points in the final 25 seconds of regulation to force overtime. Philly then outscored New York 15-9 in the extra session to stave off elimination and force the series back to the City of Brotherly Love for Thursday’s tilt.

Philadelphia C Joel Embiid, playing with a debilitating migraine headache and a nicked-up knee, fought through and ended up with an impressive triple-double, going for 19 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists with 4 blocked shots.

The heroics of Embiid and Maxey buried another solid performance by Knicks G Jalen Brunson, who ended up with 40 points, including 4 triples, while adding 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals.

Knicks at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 107, Knicks 101

Moneyline

The 76ers (-150) are worth a look as the moderate favorite for Game 6 if you’re a little more on the conservative side and don’t want to lay the points with the spread.

Philadelphia is brimming with confidence after a giant comeback in Game 5 at MSG. This is a team basically playing with house money as it was all but eliminated until Maxey decided otherwise.

Philly should be loose, relaxed and pumped up by its home crowd, while the Knicks (+125) will either come out on a mission or will be tight and out of sync after fumbling away what would have been the series clincher.

The good news for New York if it loses is, at least, it gets a decisive Game 7 on its home floor.

PASS.

Against the spread

The 76ERS -3.5 (-105) are a strong play laying the little bit of points.

The Knicks would be a much better play if they didn’t just come off an emotional freefall in Game 5. That will be a tough loss to immediately come back from, especially since F Julius Randle is long gone to a shoulder injury, and now F Bojan Bogdanovic is done for the season with foot and wrist injuries.

This New York team is doing it with a 7-man rotation which features G’s Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart and Miles McBride, F OG Anunoby and C’s Isaiah Hartenstein and Mitchell Robinson.

I’d rather take the side with Embiid and Maxey.

Over/Under

OVER 201.5 (-110) is the play, even though we saw a total of just 189 points in Game 4, the last time these teams played at Wells Fargo Center.

The Over is 3-2 in this series.

With Embiid and Maxey playing with a lot of confidence after torching the New York defense in Game 5, OVER 201.5 (-110) is the way to go here.

New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers Game 4 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers meet Sunday for Game 4 of their best-of-7 Eastern Conference, 1st-round series, which New York leads 2-1. Tip-off from Wells Fargo Center is set for 1 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. 76ers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Philly avoided going down 3-0 by picking up a 125-114 win in Thursday’s Game 3, covering the spread as a 5.5-point home favorite. C Joel Embiid dropped 50 points on 13-of-19 shooting from the field and 19-of-21 from the free-throw line.

G Jalen Brunson scored a team-high 39 points for the Knicks, who took 14 less free throws than the 76ers. New York finished 13-for-19 from the line, while Philadelphia shot 28-for-33 from the charity stripe.

Knicks at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 120, Knicks 113

Moneyline

PASS.

Philadelphia (-190) will take Game 3 and tie the series, but the juice is too expensive and not worth the risk.

One has to figure Embiid will play even though he is listed as doubtful on the injury report. New York’s Robinson seems more doubtful as he was seen walking out of Game 3 in a walking boot.

Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN 76ERS -4.5 (-110).

Philadelphia covered the spread in 8 of its last 10 games, including the last 2 games of this series. Along with the Game 3 cover, the 76ers cashed as 4.5-point road underdogs in a 104-101 loss in Game 2.

This is only a lean because Embiid and the 76ers have been notoriously unreliable in the playoffs, so betting on them to cover here does come with some risk.

Over/Under

BET OVER 209.5 (-105).

The Over has hit in 3 of Philly’s last 4 games, including its 1-point home victory (105-104) vs. the Miami Heat in the Play-In Tournament. The Over is 7-3 in the 76ers’ last 10 games.

For New York, the Over is 8-2 in its last 10 games, including 7-1 in the last 8.

The Over is also 2-1 in this series.

New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers Game 3 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Knicks face the Philadelphia 76ers Thursday for Game 3 of their 1st-round best-of-7 series. Tip-off from Wells Fargo Center is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. 76ers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Series: Knicks lead 2-0; won regular-season series 3-1

Philadelphia led 101-96 with 47.1 seconds left in Game 2, but a 3 by G Jalen Brunson followed by a botched inbound by the Sixers that led to another 3 and the Knicks won 104-101. They failed to cover the -3.5 spread and their late rally nearly hit the Over of 206.5.

In such a close game New York’s better free throw percentage (82.6% vs 72.7%) and their 3 fewer turnovers made a difference.

Knicks at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 107, Knicks 100

Moneyline

Home teams in the playoffs this year have won in 13 of their 16 games. The 76ers as a home favorite during the season are 24-9 straight up, while the Knicks are 11-13 as road dogs.

But at -225 I will PASS and look to the spread.

Against the spread

If you unpack that 11-13 moneyline record for New York, against the spread they are a surprising 11-12-1. This means they rarely lose and cover.

Combine that with Philly’s 20-16 ATS record after a loss and New York’s 24-26-1 after a win, I like the 76ers to have a strong showing.

BET 76ERS -5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Playoff defense is here. The current line is incredibly low, in round 1 this year teams have exceeded 201 points in 10 of the 16 games. But the record is 6-2 for the Eastern Conference series, both in the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic.

Both games between these teams were above 201.

I will add that New York on the road hits the Over in 53.7% of their games (22-19) despite being a top 10 Under team this season. And Philly goes Over 57.6% of the time as a home favorite this year.

LEAN OVER 204.5 (-105).

Knicks at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 112, Knicks 108

Moneyline

AVOID.

Taking the 76ers (-220) straight up at the current odds isn’t worth the risk, especially with how they’ve been playing recently.

Against the spread

KNICKS +5.5 (-110) is the lean in this matchup despite the 76ers being 20-8 at home. New York is a league-best 18-9 ATS on the road this season.

The Knicks are also 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Over/Under

UNDER 222.5 (-108) is how to play the total with how slow these teams play. The Knicks and 76ers are both bottom 6 in pace and top 15 in defensive rating.

The 76ers have gone 15-3 to the Under in their last 18 games against a team with a winning record. On top of that, the Under is 18-7 in the last 25 meetings between these teams in Philadelphia.

New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (4-5) welcome the New York Knicks (3-4) to Wells Fargo Center Friday. Tip is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. 76ers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The 76ers will need a weather a storm following the news that they will be without former MVP G James Harden for the next few weeks. Philadelphia is coming off a 121-111 loss to the Washington Wizards Wednesday as a 5.5-point underdog, but it has won 3 of its last 4 games.

The 76ers are led in scoring by star C Joel Embiid, who is averaging 27.2 points per game and shooting 53.2% from the field. G Tyrese Maxey will be asked to continue to step up as well. He is averaging 24.2 points per game.

New York also comes into this game with a losing record following a 112-99 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The Knicks have now lost 4 in a row after a hot start to the season, all of which came by double figures.

New York is led by G Jalen Brunson, who it acquired this offseason. He is averaging 18.4 per game but also weakens the team defensively. The Knicks have allowed 115.1 points per game this season.

Knicks at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 114, Knicks 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The 76ers (-140) isn’t a great value play, and the Knicks (+115) have been too bad as of late to back even at this plus-money value.

Against the spread

BET 76ERS -2.5 (-110).

The 76ers are in a good buy-low spot due to Harden’s injury. They have the 4th-best offensive rating in the NBA, and adding G De’Anthony Melton to the starting lineup should bode well for them defensively as well.

The Knicks thrive on second-chance opportunities, but the 76ers rank in the top half of the league in defensive rebounding rate and sit first in effective field goal rate, a stat the Knicks are 25th in.

Philadelphia has more dominant size with Embiid and should have the defensive-minded players to stick with Brunson.

Both teams’ records match their ATS records, so neither has covered at a consistent pace this season, but with the Knicks on a cold streak, I’d back Philly here.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 219.5 (-112).

The Knicks are 5-2 O/U, and the 76ers are 5-4 O/U. With Harden out, Maxey should get more run and the 76ers tempo may speed up with his pace, especially considering Harden’s iso-style play.

New York also has the 7th-highest turnover ratee, so there should be transition opportunities for Philly here.

Back the OVER 219.5 (-112).

[mm-video type=playlist id=01fb7dafw2b08817yr player_id=none image=https://sportsbookwire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

For the second time in less than a week, the New York Knicks (25-36) and Philadelphia 76ers (37-23) will square off. This matchup will be at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, with Wednesday’s tip-off at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Knicks vs. 76ers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Knicks were striggling before the All Star break and have lost the two games coming out of a break, falling to the Heat by 15 points and to the Sixers by 16. They’ve now lost nine of their last 10 games and covered the spread just once in that span. Though their defense has been solid (8th in NBA in points allowed at 107), they’re the third-worst shooting team in the league with a field goal percentage of 43.4%.

The Sixers are trending in the opposite direction, winning their last two games by a total of 47 points – including that 16-point win over the Knicks on Sunday. G James Harden scored 27 and 29 points in his first two games with Philadelphia, already meshing well with his new team. The 76ers have won five of their last six games and are 4-1 ATS in their last five.

Knicks at 76ers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 120, Knicks 111

Money line

It was just three days ago that the 76ers blew out the Knicks 125-109. It’s hard not to love the 76ers in this one again and the Knicks aren’t likely to pull off the upset on the road, but the money line really doesn’t offer much value.

I’m going to PASS on the ML of -650.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

Despite the lopsided score last time these teams met, the game was close until the fourth quarter when Philadelphia outscored New York 34-20 to pull away. The Knicks’ 18 turnovers really killed them, but they were in the game until the final 12 minutes. They outrebounded the Sixers 47-43, which led to 20 second-chance points.

If C Mitchell Robinson can stay out of foul trouble after fouling out Sunday, the Knicks could keep C Joel Embiid in check. Furthermore, the Knicks are 7-5 ATS on the road against teams above .500, per Covers. I like the KNICKS +10.5 (-112).

Over/Under

In each of their Sixers’ and Knicks’ four games this season, the total has gone Over. That includes the Feb. 27 meeting where the final score totaled 234 total points. I could see this game finishing with a similar score and going OVER 222.5 (-1125.

New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Knicks (6-4) travel to Wells Fargo Center Monday to take on the Philadelphia 76ers (8-2). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Knicks vs. 76ers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

This will be the Knicks’ third game in four days. New York had a letdown game against a competitive and feisty Cleveland Cavaliers team Sunday after a 19-point comeback victory over the Milwaukee Bucks Friday.

Led by former MVP Derrick Rose and All-Star PF Julius Randle, the Knicks will head to Philly as underdogs.

The Sixers are led by MVP candidate C Joel Embiid. Embiid is one of the best centers in the NBA and sealed a road victory with a stepback three against the Chicago Bulls Saturday.

Despite being back home Philadelphia will remain shorthanded with F Tobias Harris and three-time All-Star G Ben Simmons sidelined.

Knicks at 76ers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 109, Knicks 103

Money line

PASS on the money line.

The -170 price tag on Philadelphia just isn’t attractive enough. The odds may improve to around the -160 range if Green is ruled out and that’s a sweet spot where I may consider juicing up a parlay with it.

Nonetheless, I’d stay against Philly’s money line here for the time being. The Sixers should win at home, a place where they had just seven losses last season. The loss of Simmons hasn’t impacted them too much.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the SIXERS -3.5 (-115) as the better side of the spread. Basketball is far different than a sport like football with fouling extending games.

The Sixers last game against Chicago felt far closer than nine points. The Knicks have lost four games, all of which were by more than four points.

Close finishes aren’t common in the NBA, and I’d go with the team with the MVP candidate and the league’s most efficient offense. The Sixers are 4-1 on their home court to start the season.

Ranking 27th in defensive rating, the Knicks have disappointed on that end of the court despite returning C Mitchell Robinson on a consistent basis. Expect them to struggle against an elite shooting Sixers team.

Over/Under

BET the OVER 211.5 (-112) as the best value in this match. While betting Overs hasn’t been very profitable so far this season, the Sixers enter with a league-best offensive rating.

While they do slow the game up and toss the ball to Embiid in the paint often, the Sixers have the best field goal percentage in the NBA. They may not push the pace, but they are snipers.

Philadelphia may struggle to tame a solid Knicks backcourt with arguably its two best defenders sidelined. SG Evan Fournier is knocking down over 38 percent of his threes, while Rose and second-year guard Immanuel Quickley have also impressed.

The Knicks are also a slow team but rank in the top five in offensive rating. A slow, efficient game is in store, one that should push over 211 points.
