Betting on the New York Knicks
- Regular Season Record: 30-26
The Knicks have had important wins in their last two games, which have helped them stay firmly in contention for a direct berth to the postseason, currently in seventh place in the East, but only half a game away from their goal. One of those victories came precisely against the 76ers, thanks to a great defensive performance.
Additionally, the Knicks’ sturdy defense led to their most recent victory against the Orlando Magic, with a final score of 102-98. Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle were once again the team’s top performers, scoring 25 and 22 points respectively, with Randle adding 14 rebounds to his impressive performance.
While playing on the road can be challenging, the Knicks have actually won more games away from home than at home this season.This includes a 106-104 win against the 76ers on November 4th.
Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Regular Season Record: 34-18
On the other hand, the 76ers’ strong start to the 2023 season has paid off, as they have solidified their position near the top of the standings, just 4.0 games behind the leader. However, they will come into this game with the urgency to win and avoid a third consecutive loss.
The Knicks’ defense has been instrumental in their recent success, ranking fourth in the league with an average of 110.9 points allowed per game.While their offense may not be the strongest, they have key players such as Joel Embiid and James Harden leading the charge, scoring an average of 115.4 points per game at home.
Embiid has had a phenomenal season, ranking among the league’s top scorers with an average of 33.4 points per game, along with 10.2 rebounds. He has also had the support of a high-performing James Harden, who is averaging 21.0 points, 10.9 assists, and 6.4 rebounds per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The 76ers defense has proven to be able to stop even the best teams in the league, especially at home, so this could be a good matchup for them, given that they will be facing a Knicks that are not usually very productive on offense.
However, let’s also not forget that the Knicks have shown remarkable defensive qualities in many instances of the season, and the 76ers know this firsthand, being limited to 104 points or less in two of their three meetings against each other.
Those two clashes covered the Under, and considering that both have done well defensively in recent weeks, we expect that trend to continue and leave us with another low-scoring game.
Prediction: Under.
