Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks Prediction
Game 1 was back and forth, but the Knicks' three-point shooting was the difference down the stretch.
Philly was down by as many as 12 points in the second half but stormed back to take a three-point lead early in the fourth.
Tyrese Maxey was the star for the Sixers in Game 1. Maxey led the way with 33 points. Maxey is listed as questionable tonight as he is dealing with illness.
Joel Embiid added 29 points and eight rebounds in the losing effort.
Veteran Kyle Lowry added 18 points and four rebounds.
Tobias Harris continued to struggle, going 3-7 from the field.
Philly rolls into this game as a six-point underdog.
The Knicks feel good after Game 1.
Despite their star Jalen Brunson not having his best game, the Knicks found a way to win.
Josh Hart was the star of Game 1, leading the way with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Hart went 4-8 from three in the win.
Brunson shot 8-26 from the floor and just 1-6 from three. Brunson leads the Knicks with 28.7 points per game.
Miles McBride was great off the Knicks bench, adding 21 points and shooting 5-7 from three.
Let’s dive into my best bet for tonight’s game.
Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks Pick
This line is an overreaction to Game 1.
The line for game one was 3.5, and now we see a significant jump.
I believe both Maxey and Embiid will play in this must-win game tonight.
This will be a back-and-forth game that favors the underdog.
Let’s stay red hot tonight!
