The Knicks appear poised for the Eastern Conference Finals, leading the semifinals 2-0 against the 76ers. Game 1 was a 137-98 blowout, and the New Yorkers made history by becoming the first NBA team to win three consecutive playoff games by 25 or more points. Game 2, with the Sixers without Embiid, was more evenly matched, but the Knicks prevailed 108-102. The series now moves to Xfinity Mobile Arena, where sportsbooks anticipate a closer contest.
A look at Game 2 reveals how the Knicks secured the victory; they scored as many as 23 points, capitalizing on 76ers turnovers. It's clear that, for Philadelphia, pushing starters Maxey, Edgecombe, and George to their limits led to exhaustion in the fourth quarter; George acknowledged the issue, saying, "We just ran out of gas."
Even so, the Knicks will need to improve in certain areas heading into Game 3. Let's remember that the Sixers won two games in Philadelphia to knock out one of the favorites, the Celtics. The New Yorkers gave the Sixers a whopping 28 free throws in Game 2.

Our Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Prediction
The latest reports indicate that, due to his ankle injury, Embiid will continue to be listed as questionable; his availability will be decided during the pre-game shootaround and warm-up. In any case, if he's unavailable, Dominick Barlow will likely take on a more prominent role.
The Knicks are on fire, achieving rare playoff feats, like building a 47-point halftime lead in their blowout of the Hawks in the previous round. Even so, the Sixers won't go down quietly at home; a good opportunity to consider taking the over.
Our prediction for 76ers vs Knicks is: Over 213.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
