Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Regular Season Record: 34-17
James Harden did not hide his annoyance for not being called to the NBA All Star Game 2023 to be held in Utah. Harden posted on his social networks that he felt this whole situation was disrespectful.
Indeed, it is certainly incomprehensible that a player who has averages of 21.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 10.9 assists has not received the honor of being in the meeting of the main figures of the best basketball in the world. The 76ers will now likely have a motivated version of Harden taking over the court, who will want to prove at all costs that not bringing him to Utah was a mistake.
Betting on the New York Knicks
- Regular Season Record: 27-25
The Knicks were able to defeat the Miami Heat last Thursday despite playing without their star point guard, Jalen Brunson, due to a non-COVID-19 related flu. R.J. Barrett was the star of that duel, contributing with 30 points and 8 rebounds. Meanwhile, the team’s All Star, Julius Randle, also stood out with a 23 point contribution and 10 rebounds.
Coach Tom Thibodeau certainly hopes to be able to count on Brunson on Saturday against the Clippers and Sunday against the 76ers, as those will be two tough games where the former Dallas Mavericks player’s presence is vital.
JefeBet Prediction
The Knicks and the 76ers are 1-1 in the series between the two this season. Curiously, we find that each team has won away from home in these games, and that both clashes were defined by less than 10 points.
This Sunday night is expected to be another great game at Madison Square Garden and, at JefeBet, we believe that Joel Embiid and his squad will end up winning in the most famous coliseum in the world.
Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers Spread.
