The current betting odds have the Knicks listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Knicks have looked really good in their games this season with their 37-27 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the East right now. They have looked good on their home court this year with their 21-13 home record too. Meanwhile, the 76ers have also looked good in their games this season with their 36-28 record which also has them in a playoff spot in the East right now. The 76ers have been struggling a lot though since losing Embiid as they were once in the top 3 of the East and have now slipped down to 6th, barely holding onto a true playoff spot. They haven't looked good in their games lately either with their 4-6 record in their last 10 games. The Knicks haven't looked great lately either as they are also 4-6 in their last 10 games and dealing with their own injuries too, but they are also going to have some extra motivation here since they did lose their last one at home to this 76ers team. The Knicks will be looking to bounce back in this game by getting the 76ers back here for their last one and it will be tough for the 76ers to beat the same twice in a row with how up and down they have been lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
