The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers will face off in Game 1 of their NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference semi-final series at Madison Square Garden on Monday. The winner of this series between the Knicks and 76ers will face either the Pistons or Cavaliers in the East Final. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After falling 2-1 behind in the first round of the Playoffs, the New York Knicks came surging back with three wins in a row to eliminate the Atlanta Hawks 4-2.
Their 140-89 Game 6 win now stands as the largest Playoff victory in franchise history. They rank first in field-goal percentage in the Playoffs (49.9%), second in PPG (117.8) and third in three-point conversion (38%).
Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby were excellent against the Hawks. Karl-Anthony Towns put up two triple-doubles in the series, and he will be key in this one against Joel Embiid.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers pulled off their first-ever Playoff series comeback from 3-1 down to beat the Boston Celtics 4-3. They won Game 7 109-100 at TD Garden this past weekend.
Tyrese Maxey has been superb all season and continued his good form in the first round. However, Embiid’s return in Game 4 of that series proved decisive, with the dominant centre posting 26, 33, 19 and 34 points in his four games.
The regular-season series between these teams was split 2-2. Embiid is listed as probable, while Jeremy Sochan will be a game-time decision for the Knicks.

Our New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
Off the bat, we will say that this is a series that we feel could go down to the wire. However, we fancy the New York Knicks to secure Game 1, given they are at home and last played on Thursday.
The 76ers have a short turnaround after a gruelling Game 7 against the Celtics, and considering Embiid’s injury history, there is no guarantee that he will feature in this opener. We’re going with the hosts to take the series lead. Our New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction is New York Knicks -4.5.
If your team in the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
