Off Saturday's 111-104 home win and cover over the Sixers, look for the Knicks to have a little trouble in this rematch. Coming into the playoffs, Philadelphia was one of the hottest teams in the league inking a strong 9-0 SU and 8-1 ATS record, and head coach Nick Nurse and his troops are in prime position to pull off this upset.
Holding a respectable 51-36 SU and 50-36-1 ATS record in their last 87 tries, the 76ers have been worth the financial risk on the road lately. In this run competing against a foe that arrives off a SU and ATS victory, Coach Nurse and his boys improve to a lucrative 20-10 SU and 22-8 ATS including an elite 12-4 SU and 14-2 ATS if their opponent hits the hardwood with steam off two or more straight up victories.
Sporting a feeble 30-42 SU and 28-41-3 ATS mark in the last 72 tries, the Boys from the Big Apple haven't exactly been lighting it up in the playoffs. In this run checking in off a pointspread dub, the Knicks fall to a shocking 6-22 SU and 6-20-2 ATS including a nasty 1-5 SU and 0-6 ATS if they are favored by -2.5 points or more. Also, in their last 19 games at home, New York carries a surprising 10-9 SU and 7-12 ATS tally including just 4-6 SU and 2-8 ATS provided they take the floor with momentum off a straight up win.
The Knicks bench was the difference in game one. The Sixers will make the necessary adjustments and steal game two. Take Philadelphia. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
