76ers vs Knicks Prediction and Odds: Last Game Analysis

Can the 76ers convert one more on the road?

The Philadelphia 76ers have won their last eight away games. In their most recent away game, they had a fantastic victory over the Sacramento Kings (129-127). The game was close until the fourth quarter when the 76ers’ outstanding defense propelled them to victory. Even though Joel Embiid and James Harden were absent, the Philadelphia 76ers continued to perform well. Tyrese Maxey finished with 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Georges Niang and Tobias Harris both scored 17 points.

On the other side, the Kings were in charge of the game’s tempo in the first half and built a sizable 21-point lead in the second, but it was simply not their night. For the Kings, DeAaron Fox scored 31 points while dishing out 9 assists. While Kevin Huerter and Harrison Barnes each had a score of 20, respectively.

Can the Knicks maintain their tempo?

The Knicks were looking good from the start as they defeated the Miami Heat (106-104) in their last home fixture. Barrett scored a huge 30 points for the Knicks while Julius Randle scored 23 points with 10 rebounds and 6 assists. The Knicks were playing without their point guard Jalen Brunson who was absent following illness. Isaiah Hartenstein’s effort at both ends proved quite efficient for the Knicks as they grabbed another home victory.

The Heat was giving a tough challenge to the Knicks at both ends of the court. Bam Adebayo made 32 points with 9 rebounds while Tyler Herro scored 25 points. Herro made a good-looking 3-point attempt to wrap up the game but it was no good.
