The current betting odds have the Knicks listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 5 of a 7 game series between the 2nd seeded Knicks and the 7th seeded 76ers for Round 1 of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs. The Knicks have a 3-1 series lead after winning game 4 of this series on the road. The Knicks have looked like the better team in this entire series. They grinded out wins in their 2 home games to open up this series and they even managed to steal a road game in their last one. Now they are coming back to New York with a chance to eliminate the 76ers in this game and the Knicks have looked a lot better on their home court this season with their 27-14 home record. The 76ers haven't looked as good in their road games this year and they are going to bring their best effort here since they are facing elimination, but the Knicks have been playing some good defense in this series which has given the 76ers fits. The Knicks made quick work of their 1st round playoff series last season and they have done nothing but improve as a team since then. The Knicks will show why they earned the number 2 seed in the East when they close out this series against the 76ers in 5 games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
