Philadelphia 76ers & New York Knicks Squad Analysis
The Sixers have a potential injury crisis after it was announced that star guard James Harden will miss up to a month with a foot injury. This comes while MVP candidate Joel Embiid has missed the entire week due to injury and is questionable for this game against the Knicks. Philadelphia is left with third-year man Tyrese Maxey to shoulder the offensive load after the 22-year-old has stepped up this season, jumping from 17.5 points per game last season to 24.2 points per game so far this season. The Knicks will need a big performance from Jalen Brunson as the offseason free agent signing leads the team in scoring with 18.4 points per game.

Our Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Prediction
We’re going to back the New York Knicks to at least keep this to a one possession game and back them on the +3 point spread. A lot hinges on whether or not Joel Embiid can suit up for Philadelphia as he is one of the few players in this league that could swing this line from being -3 point favorites if he plays to underdogs if he misses out. If he does sit, then there is a ton of value in the visiting Knicks. It may be worth waiting until closer to tipoff for confirmation but you also risk the possibility of losing out on the current number if he is ruled out.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
