The first-round playoff series between the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers hits the road for Game 3. A contentious closing minute led to New York taking a 2-0 series with a 104-101 victory.
Season Series
New York took the season series winning three of the four meetings while the clubs split their four regular season matches last season. Philly holds the all-time edge of 264 victories of 472 contests versus the Knicks.
This is the ninth time in history that the clubs are meeting in the playoffs with the Sixers winning six of those series.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday, April 24th Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, April 25th.
New York Knicks
When Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson were out injured Jalen Brunson stepped up to lead his squad in capturing the second seed. But game plans in the postseason are more detailed and he’s struggled as the primary focus of the 76ers.
Through two games he’s shooting 29.2% from the field (16 of 55) and 16.7% from the perimeter (2 of 12). Fortunately, his fellow Villanova teammates have stepped up with Josh Hart being the Game 1 hero and Donte DiVincenzo hitting the big shot in Game 2.
Knicks Stats
New York ranks tied for seventh offensively (117.3) and ninth defensively (112.4) while their net differential is plus +4.9 which ranks fifth overall.
Through the second game of the playoffs, they rank second offensively (118.8), and 10th defensively (113.3) with a plus +5.5 net differential ranking fifth.
With the injuries to the core, the Knicks performance against the spread dipped but they remained above .500 with a 45-38-1 record through 84 contests.
Knicks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Julius Randle, PF (OUT for season— shoulder)
Philadelphia 76ers
No doubt the Sixers felt any better when the NBA Last Two Minute report was posted confirming their claims that Nurse did call time out and Maxey was fouled (twice) in the pivotal final seconds of Game 2.
Ultimately, the game will go down as a classic and the Sixers could’ve avoided much of the confusion if Nurse had channeled Erik Spoelstra and walked onto the court.
It’s been heart-wrenching to observe Joel Embiid with virtually no lift in his jumper and limited mobility. Like Game 1, he looked better in the first half, but by the second half, he was lumbering up and down the floor and relegated to playing possum for his teammates.
Despite that, he managed to score 34 points, complementing Maxey’s 35 (who also played through illness).
76ers Stats
Philly ranked tied for 13th offensively (116.2) and 11th defensively (113.0), and possessed a net differential of plus +3.1 which ranks tied for eighth overall. Before Embiid’s injury, Philly ranked in the top seven in all three areas.
Through the second game of the playoffs, the 76ers rank seventh offensively (113.3), and 15th defensively (118.8) with a minus -5.5 net differential ranking 12th.
The Sixers were one of the better bets against the spread this season with a 49-35-1 record through 85 contests.
76ers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- De’Anthony Melton, SG (questionable— back)
- Joel Embiid, C (probable — knee)
- Robert Covington, SF (OUT indefinitely — knee)

Free New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA Prediction:
Following Game 2, Embiid stated he felt his squad should be up 2-0, claimed they were the better team and would still win. He’s the leader, so that’s what he should be saying but he’s not going to get healthier as the series progresses.
That doesn’t mean the 76ers aren’t capable of winning the next two games at home and making this a series. Role players tend to perform better at home which is a good thing considering the bench scored a cumulative 17 points in New York.
With that, I’m taking Philly to win Game 3 and suspect the officials will have a very favorable whistle for Embiid and Co. on Thursday.
