- Analysis
- The Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks play game two of their first round series here on Monday after the Knicks took game one, 111-104. The surprise star of the game was Deuce McBride off the bench for New York who scored 21 points. The Sixers Joel Embiid left the game in the 2nd quarter when he appeared to have reinjured his surgically repaired knee. However, Embiid returned and rallied the Sixers to a lead in the 2nd half. Embiid finished with 29 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 33 points. This game really comes down to how healthy Embiid will be. It's obvious when he's on the court he makes things happen for the Sixers. The Knicks might be more balanced, with more off the bench. However, I'm sticking with the 76ers on Monday as long as Embiid is in the lineup, which I believe he will be. Play Philadelphia.
