The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a PK in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have looked really good in their games this season with their 32-22 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the East, but they have been sliding down the standings ever since losing Joel Embiid to injury. They have looked good on their home court this year with their 17-11 home record and they have been starting to adjust without Embiid in the lineup, playing better in their games lately. Meanwhile, the Knicks have also looked really good in their games this season with their 33-22 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the East. The Knicks have been climbing the standings in the East as they have looked really good since the trade deadline, but now they have been getting riddled with injuries to their starters which has affected them in a negative way on the court. They have already struggled more in their road games this season with their 14-14 road record, but now they are missing key players in the lineup too. They haven't looked great in their games lately either with 4 losses in a row now. The 76ers haven't been great lately as they are also banged up but they should be able to take advantage of an injured Knicks team on the road. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.

“He’s an All-Star. You’ve got to guard a guy like that with your team. And he made his 3s. That was a big thing. But he gets into the paint. He’s big, he’s strong and he has a good mix of shots.” - Tom Thibodeau on Paolo Banchero after his team’s loss against the Magic in their game on Wednesday last week.

“We turned down a couple of open threes and tried to drive but it was a tough drive because Bam was sitting underneath the basket the whole game. You’re going to have to go finish after you beat your guy. You have to go finish over him in some fashion.” - Nick Nurse after his team’s loss against the Heat in their game on Wednesday last week.
