The line for the Wednesday night contest between New York and Philadelphia is a bit late coming out as oddsmakers wait for injury news on both sides. No matter which Philadelphia players take the court in this game, they should be heavy favorites vs. a Knicks team that has lost 7 of their last 8.
New York dropped a game to Phoenix on Monday which ordinarily would be unacceptable except for the fact that the Knicks were on a B2B. Wednesday night David Fizdale’s team will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights which isn’t ideal vs. a Philly team that is 14-3 at Wells Fargo this year.
New York Knicks
Do the Knicks have enough energy to muster up the upset win? How about just keeping this game close? New York has dropped an 18 point game to the Suns, an 11 point contest to the Pacers, and inexplicably scored an OT win in Charlotte over their last three.

It’s probably not a reach to say that New York should be better than their 9-23 record. They have a moderately talented roster with players that could go for 20 on any given night. Enes Kanter has a 20/15 night this week, Emmanuel Mudiay went for 32 vs. the Suns last game, and rookie Kevin Knox has five straight games of 15+.
Despite that talent and/or potential the Knicks have been held to 107 or less in 6 of 8. That offense could take another hit Wednesday as Tim Hardaway, Jr. is questionable with a heel issue. Philadelphia has a top 10 shooting defense as well.

The O/U for Wednesday should be set significantly high due mainly to the Knicks defense. New York has allowed 110+ in 11 straight games and has allowed opponents 120+ in four of those games. The Sixers are a top 10 scoring offense that has eclipsed 120+ in 3 of 9.
Philadelphia 76ers
Philadelphia can’t afford to get complacent in a game they should win because quite frankly they need a victory. The Sixers have dropped 3 of 4 including the last two games they played at home. The Pacers scored a 113-101 win December 14th at Wells Fargo which was preceded by a 127-123 Brooklyn win.
Philadelphia did meet up with New York at the end of November and was able to snag a 117-91 win also at home. The Sixers were -12.5 favorites in that game and Joel Embiid proved to be too much with 26 points and 14 boards. The 76ers have two days off after Wednesday’s game so expect all hands on deck if this game stays close.

Another reason this contest could be a high scoring one is because Philly’s defense has been a bit loose lately. The Sixers have allowed 120+ in 2 of 4 and 5 of the last 7 opponents have at least broken 110. The Knicks have potential – but do they put it in action in this game?

Free New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA Prediction:
There are two trends working in Wednesday night’s game. First off Philadelphia has a tendency to play down to their opponent. That being said, they also bounce back with a vengeance after a loss. In a normal situation the Knicks might have a shot at covering but they’re a bit banged up while also playing in a 3-in-4.

Philadelphia should have no problem posting a 10-15 point win over New York in this one – heck, the Suns beat the Knicks by 18 last game.
