76ers at the New York Knicks – Who will win at Madison Square Garden?

If you are looking for a New York Knicks vs 76ers prediction, then you have come to the right place! We are going to detail the upcoming match as the Philadelphia 76ers make the short trip to New York.

The famous Madison Square Garden will be the setting for the match, and being so close to Christmas and with it being a Friday night match we can expect a packed audience for the night. The match will be shown on TV as well and we have all the details you will need if you can’t get yourself a ticket for the game!

These two sides have met 476 times in all-time regular season matches with the 76ers having the best of it, holding a 264-212 record. They further this with a 23-16 lead from the 39 postseason matches between the two sides. However, let’s look at the current teams in a bit more detail, as these historical stats, whilst interesting, offer little towards this weekend’s final outcome.

In terms of matchups this season, the Knicks won the only encounter, a 110-105 win.

Team Form and Likely Line ups

New York Knicks

The Knicks may have up to 3 players out. Definitely not fit are both Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride suffering with long-term injuries. Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable, having suffered a few knee issues recently. Without star man Jalen Brunson up front, OG Anunoby has filled in for the Knicks and done well . He has been averaging a steady 30 points a game. Their performances usually rely on Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart and these are both currently fit to play.

The Knicks are in good health and have won 4 of their last 5 outings including making the NBA Cup Final on Saturday with a 132-120 win over the Orlando Magic. The Knicks are 2nd currently in the Eastern Conference with a handy 18-7 record, which is much stronger at home where they have only suffered one defeat, holding a 13-1 win-loss record going into this one.

Likely New York Knicks Line Up:

• Guards: Mitchell Robinson, Mikal Bridges
• Centre: Karl-Anthony Towns
• Forwards: Josh Hart, OG Annuoby

Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers are currently struggling with an injury crisis, they have 4 first choice picks out with serious injuries and none look like they will be fit to play tonight. This incorporates Joel Embiid (Knee), Paul George (groin), Tyrese Maxey (finger) and Kelly Oubre Jr (Knee sprain). This leaves all their main trio of Embiid, George, and Maxey missing. This has seen Adam Bona and Lonnie Walker IV stepping in and their lack of experience contributed to a lousy losing streak of eight straight games before Sunday. They did manage to win last time out 115-105 at home to the Indiana Pacers, but both George and Embid suffered recurring injuries in that victory.

They are still hanging onto 4th spot in the Eastern Conference at the this time with a 14-10 record but they are in danger of dropping further down unless they can find a way to stop the rot! They are 6-3 away however, so their record is not too poor on their travels.

Likely Philadelphia 76ers Line Up:

• Guards: Quentin Grimes, VJ Edgecombe
• Centre: Adam Bona
• Forwards: Dominik Barlow, Lonnie Walker IV

Prediction for the Philidephia 76ers at New York Knicks

With both teams profiled it’s time to make a final 76ers vs Knicks prediction. In terms of 76ers vs Knicks betting tips it’s going to be worth giving the Knicks a winning margin in this one rather than focusing on simply a outright win market. They should win and the bookmakers know this well, if you want to find odds that are anywhere near worth it. The 76ers are in shocking form and riddled with injuries meaning they will travel here in a poor mental state. I can’t see them getting a result and favour the Knicks by at least 10 points for a comfortable victory. They have been unstoppable at home this season and won’t be fearing the 76ers visit at all, in fact it’s more like an early xmas present!
