New York Knicks +4
I think the New York Knicks are in a prime spot for a bounce back tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers and I’m loving getting 4 points in this matchup.
New York has struggled recently as they have dropped 3 of their last 4 games, however, this is a team that has shown up against top-level competition on the road this season as they have already notched road wins against Chicago & Milwaukee.
Philadelphia has been impressive as of late, especially considering they have been missing many key players, including Tobias Harris, Danny Green, & Matisse Thybulle, however, I’m expecting them to struggle on the offensive end tonight like they did in a 112-99 loss to New York a few weeks ago.
The Knicks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game and 16-7 ATS in their last 23 road games. The 76ers are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
New York plays at a slow pace (29th in PACE) which I think is going to hurt the Philadelphia offensive attack in this one as I expect this game to come down to the final possession, I think that New York and the points are the play here.
