Philadelphia 76ers Betting Prediction
First, we have the 76ers vs Knicks Betting prediction for Philly.
The Philadelphia 76ers have had a lot of problems with injuries, especially to their best player, basketball player Joel Embiid. They want to stay in a good position for the playoffs during this part of the season while they wait for Embiid to get better.
They are currently in sixth place in the standings, but because the Pacers and the Heat are tied for sixth place, they could be kicked out of the Play-In Tournament.
It’s not a given that Embiid will come back until April, but most people think he will. On Sunday, the Philadelphia 76ers beat the New York Knicks. Kelly Oubre scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, which were big accomplishments.
Tyrese Maxey couldn’t play in the game between the 76ers and the Knicks because he had a headache. There are also disagreements about Maxey’s involvement in this fight. For the season, Tobias Harris has scored the most points for the team without those two players. Harris got a double-double against the Knicks by scoring 11 points and getting 12 rebounds.
He usually scores 17.4 points per game. He also had a game against the Pelicans before this one where he scored 21 points and grabbed 10 boards. It’s true that Kelly Oubre Jr. played well in the last game and is averaging 14.6 points per game this season, but he needs to step up more often.
Buddy Hield, on the other hand, kept coming off the bench, even though he plays a lot of minutes, scores 14.9 points per game on average for the Sixers, and makes 3.4 three-pointers per game.
Since Maxey wasn’t there, they started the game with Kyle Lowry and Cameron Payne as their two ballhandlers in the backcourt. Everybody thought these two guys would start.
In spite of Mo Bamba starting at center, Paul Reed ended up playing most of the center spot when Bamba came off the bench. Nic Batum played a lot of minutes as a stretch forward after coming off the bench.
According to the rankings, the Philadelphia 76ers are the 12th best defensive team in the league and the 14th best scoring team. It takes them sixteenth of all the NBA teams to play rapidly.
Injury Report:
- Questionable: Tyrese Maxey (concussion)
- Out: Joel Embiid (knee), De’Anthony Melton (back), Robert Covington (knee)
New York Knicks Betting Prediction
Now we have the 76ers vs Knicks Betting prediction for New York.
They are also having a lot of problems with the New York Knicks right now. That last game couldn’t happen because Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson were all not there. If these three guys were on any NBA team, they would always be there.
Randle and Robinson will be out for a long time, but Anunoby might play in this game even though he has a minor arm injury right now. The Knicks were only able to score 73 points in their game against the 76ers on Sunday. Jalen Brunson scored 19 points, but he only made 6-22 shots from the floor.
This season, Brunson has played in all 59 games and been fit. With 27.1 points per game, he is the team’s top scorer. He has also scored the most goals for the team total. He also leads the team in assists with 6.5 per game and makes 43% of his three-point attempts.
The next player who can score is Donte DiVincenzo. He is currently scoring 14.3 points per game and making 3.2 three-pointers per game, which is the most on the team. For the Knicks, Bojan Bogdanovic has been coming off the bench since he joined the team eleven games ago.
He has scored an average of 13.5 points per game with the team. From the start of the game against the Sixers, they went with Josh Hart, Precious Achiuwa, and Isaiah Hartenstein. But none of them were able to score more than ten points.
Bogdanovic was in charge of the bench players. Jericho Sims and Miles McBride also played some minutes and helped the team win. Their defensive efficiency is ninth, and their offensive efficiency is thirteenth. It takes thirty-first place in basketball to see who has the slowest pace of play, which is the New York Knicks.
Injury Report:
- Questionable: OG Anunoby
- Out: Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson
76ers vs Knicks Betting Pick
The Knicks won’t lose three straight games at home against a team without their star player. In general, this is a good trend. This game is coming up, and Coach Thibodeau will have his team ready to go.
There is a good chance that Maxey will come back for the 76ers. The Knicks should also get Anunoby back for this game, who is their best wing defender. The Knicks don’t have enough backcourt players to keep Anunoby on Maxey for the whole game, but they do have Anunoby to stop Maxey from scoring if he gets really hot.
Brunson did not do well, but he will turn things around here. He only made 1 of 9 shots from beyond the arc during the game, but for the year, he has made over 40% of his shots from beyond the arc. When Brunson gets back to the level of play he was at before, he will help the Knicks win this game.
The Knicks would also have the tiebreaker over the 76ers if they won this game. This could be very important in the playoffs, especially if the 76ers get hot when Embiid comes back.
With 79 points allowed, the Knicks’ defense is the most efficient in this game. It ranks ninth in efficiency and held the 76ers to that score. With a win, both the defense and the attack will be back on track.
