The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have looked good in their games this season with their 24-19 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They haven't looked great on their home court though with their 12-12 home record this year. Meanwhile, the Knicks have looked good in their games this season with their 26-18 record overall which has them right near the top of the East. They haven't been a great road team though with their 8-12 road record this season. The Knicks are off a win over the Nets in their last one and that was a historic win for them, winning 120-66, but they have looked terrible lately and have been in a big slump since winning the NBA Cup. They are 3-7 in their last 10 games and they have been dealing with a lot of drama surrounding the players and head coach. This drama has definitely poured onto the court and now the 76ers have a chance to take advantage of that. The 76ers haven't looked that great themselves lately as they are 5-5 in their last 10 games, but they are off a win over the Rockets in their last one and that win over a solid team in the West is going to give them some momentum here. The 76ers have been dealing with some injuries this season, but they should be healthy for this game and they looked a lot better in that win over the Rockets as they changed up the rotation a bit. The 76ers haven't been their best at home this year, but the Knicks have been in a huge slump lately and have had plenty of trouble on the road themselves. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.
