Knicks vs 76ers NBA Preview
The Knicks beat the Nets by a million points last game, but they've still gone down in nine of their last 12 games.
Philly is 2-0 in this matchup so far, having beaten the Knicks on December 19 by a score of 116-107, and on January 3 by a score of 130-119 — both at Madison Square Garden.
Both are also amid the Knicks' current skid, as they've gone 8-11 since the NBA Cup victory.
The 76ers are just 1.5 games behind the Knicks, and are a solid 8-5 in their last 13 games, with an overtime win over the Rockets on Thursday leading into tonight.
On the injury report for the Knicks is just Karl-Anthony Towns (back), who is questionable to play.
For Philly, Paul George (knee) and Joel Embiid (ankle) are probable.
There's a chance we have no injuries for this game tomorrow, but check the reports early, given that we have an early tipoff.
Knicks vs 76ers Prediction, Betting Analysis
Tyrese Maxey has seen a lot of success in this matchup.
Earlier this year, he scored 30 points against the Knicks with all of Embiid, George and VJ Edgecombe in the lineup.
More recently, Maxey recorded 36 on January 3 without Embiid.
Maxey has scored 30 points or more in four straight matchups against the Knicks — and this season, he has gone over 27.5 points in 8-of-11 with Embiid in the lineup.
Pick: Tyrese Maxey Over 26.5 Points (-110)
