It’s win or go 3-0 down for the Philadelphia 76ers after the New York Knicks won Games 1 and 2 at home. Now Game 3 goes to Philadelphia, with the 76ers desperately needing a win that’ll keep them alive in the semifinal. Still, with the Knicks sweeping both games and winning their last four games against the 76ers, our match prediction favours NY to make it 3-0.
The Knicks look like they can go to win it all after beating the 76ers 108-102 to win five games in a row, and boast six wins in their eight playoff games so far. And they’ve absolutely dominated opponents, winning those five games by 16, 29, 51, 39, and 6 points, respectively.
What’s more, they’ve now beaten the 76ers in four straight games, doing so after losing the first two regular-season games this season. The Knicks may be the underdogs according to the betting odds. However, they already look like the champions of this game. Still, even they know not to underestimate Philadelphia.
The Boston Celtics lead the 76ers 3-1 in the quarterfinals of the Eastern Conference playoffs, only to lose the final three games to a relentless 76ers side. The only problem is they’re facing a Knicks side that’s leading the playoffs on points, scoring over 16 more points than Philadelphia and 13 more than the Celtics averaged per game.

Our Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Prediction
Despite the betting odds favouring the 76ers, we think the Knicks have this one in the bag. Yes, Philadelphia isn't the one to underestimate after what happened with Boston. However, the Knicks are a different beast, who practically lead the entire playoffs in attacking strength, while also boasting a top-3 defence.
They’ve already made it four wins in a row over the 76ers, and we think it’ll be five tonight. Hence, our Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks prediction is that the New York Knicks wins.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
