The current betting odds have the Knicks listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Knicks haven't looked great in their games this season with their 2-3 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the East. They haven't been a great road team either with their 1-1 road record this year. Meanwhile, the 76ers have looked great in their games this season with their 4-1 record overall which has them right near the top of the East. They have looked good on their home court too with their 2-1 home record this season. The 76ers had a big off-season with the moves they made, bringing in LeBron James and Jaylen Brown. That translated to a hot start to the season and they have looked like one of the best teams in the NBA. They are coming off a win over the Pacers after taking their 1st loss of the season to the Pistons the game before, but they were trailing for a lot of that game and now they are starting to slow down after that hot start. The Knicks have been the opposite as they started the season 0-3 and have had a lot of trouble putting up points in their games. Their defense has looked really good though and they are still the defending NBA Champions. They haven't been at their best with the championship hangover looming over them, but they are starting to get themselves back on track now. They have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now and they are coming off a comeback road win over the Bulls in their last one. The Knicks also had their ring night spoiled at home by the 76ers in their season opener, so they will be looking to return the favor now that they are playing better. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
