Knicks vs 76ers NBA Cup Preview
How are the Sixers underdogs here?
Jaylen Brown is questionable, and that matters. But the Sixers are home 'dogs to a team they’ve already beaten on the road? When the Knicks have looked messy and off-kilter all season?
Baffling. I don’t think the line is dramatically off, though; I make this spread a pick'em. But this is definitely a Philly spot.
The Sixers’ halfcourt offense is rough; they’re still trying to figure out how to work together. But that’s still considerably better than where the Knicks are.
The Knicks have a size advantage; the Sixers have a speed and athleticism edge.
Without Jaylen Brown, they’re likely to rely more on Tyrese Maxey, who has been their best player by far.
If Brown plays, this line likely flips back the other way. It’s the right side regardless.
Knicks vs 76ers Picks, Betting Analysis
Under 228.5 (-110)
The Sixers’ halfcourt offense is rackety. They will get out in transition, but the Knicks play much slower.
So, less efficient halfcourt offense for one team, slower pace for the other.
That’s how we get to an under in a battle where both teams will take defense seriously.
Pick: Under 228.5 (-110)
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 1.5 3 Points Made (+120)
With Embiid playing, the Sixers will play drop coverage and protect the rim.
When Embiid is off the floor, they’ll have to sink back to the rim because of their lack of size.
Towns should get good looks from deep as the Sixers try to protect the interior.
Pick: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 1.5 3 Points Made (+120)
