The Knicks are entering this game with a 50-32 record overall to finish the regular season and they were 27-14 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game on a 6 game winning streak with wins coming against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Chicago Bulls, the Boston Celtics, the Brooklyn Nets, the Chicago Bulls again, and the Philadelphia 76ers in their last game.

The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 2 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 1-0 series lead after winning game 1 of this series on their home court. The 76ers lost game 1 of this series and found themselves down by double digits at halftime, but they fought all the way back, even taking a lead in the 2nd half before blowing it again. They fought hard in that game to make it close in the end and they showed that the Knicks aren't just going to roll over them here. The 76ers had a winning road record this season with their 22-19 road record and they have looked a lot better in their games lately since Embiid came back to their lineup. The Knicks have looked great on their home court all season with their 27-14 home record and they got the job done in game 1, but that was still a really close game and the 76ers are going to bring their best effort here to try and tie up the series before going back home. The Knicks are going to let the 76ers hang around in this game just like they did in game 1 but the 76ers will be pushing harder here now that they are down in the series and this could be a game that the Knicks fumble late. Even if the Knicks win this game, it will be a really close game that could come down to the very last shot of the game. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.
