- Analysis
- This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Divisional Game of the Month. The Sixers have fallen down 2-0 in this series following a brutal defeat in Game Two where they blew a five-point lead with 47 seconds left and were outscored 8-0 the rest of the way. The final 30 seconds were filled with controversy with missed fouls and missed time outs for Philadelphia and the NBA has actually come forward with the mishaps. The Sixers will be playing with a chip on their shoulder and this is obviously a must win and there will be a message sent in Game Three. Tyrese Maxey was incredible despite playing with the flu and it will be up to him and Joel Embiid, who has been hobbling around with the knee issue, to again pick this team up which we fully expect at home. The Knicks have won five of the six meetings in this season series including a pair of blowouts in Philadelphia in January and February which is surprising without a huge matchup advantage. Philadelphia is 24-9 as a home favorite this season and laying a good number in this one. Here, we play against road underdogs off three or more consecutive home wins, playing five or less games in 14 days. This situation is 40-16 (71.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (528) Philadelphia 76ers
