Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks: Current situation
After winning the offseason by signing Paul George and a bunch of highly skilled back-up players, the Philadelphia 76ers have had a rough start to the season. Similarly to last year, injuries have decimated their roster, with key players Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey all missing time. However, the tide appears to be shifting and Joel Embiid is expected to make his season debut in Tuesday’s game against the Knicks. The former regular season MVP has not played competitive basketball since last year’s NBA Playoffs defeat to New York.
The Knicks were also very active in free agency acquiring the likes of Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, but they too have struggled to gel together in the first two weeks of the season. With just 4 wins from 9 games, the Knicks are just 5th in the East. However, there are some positives to take away – center Karl-Anthony Towns has adapted well to life in New York, he actually leads the team with 24.3 points and 12.8 rebounds per game. However, Knicks fans are expecting this team to finish well above .500 this season, so they better start winning soon.
Philadelphia 76ers Stats & Form
The 76ers got a major break at home in Sunday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets as they ran out 107-105 winners in overtime. Jared McCain and Guerschon Yabusele were the two unlikely heroes who led the scoring with 27 and 20 points off the bench, with star forward Paul George struggling for most of the night. It was only the 2nd win of the season for Philly, but the road to recovery starts now with their former MVP finally back on the court.
New York Knicks Stats & Form
New York’s defense was a major letdown in Sunday’s 132-121 loss at Indiana. With the game pretty much in the balance the first 3 quarter, the Knicks just ran out of steam in the 4th quarter and allowed 40 points which resulted in a 11 point loss. Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Og Anunoby combined to score 88 of the 121 points, once again the bench production was no where to be seen. The Knicks have major issues on both ends, I would not be surprised if they were very active before the trade deadline.
Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks: Head to Head
New York thoroughly dominated the head-to-head series last season. First they won 3 of the 4 regular season meetings in convincing fashion, keeping the 76ers under 100 points in all 4 of those games. The two teams then met in the 1st round of the East playoffs, where the Knicks prevailed 4-2, in part due to injuries. Tuesday’s game will be the first of 4 meetings this regular season, New York still has a lot of ground to make up in the all-time regular season wins total as they trail by 56 wins.
Philadelphia 76ers – New York Knicks Odds
If you believe the 76ers can win in Embiid’s season debut, odds of 5/6 are available to support that bet. For a Knicks road win you can get a solid price of 11/8 odds.
The point total has been set at 222.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks (12.11.2024)
It’s hard to win in today’s NBA without a solid bench production and the Knicks are lacking just that. They are dead last in the NBA with their reserves averaging just 19.9 points per game. That’s in part due to their head coach Tom Thibodeau only trusting his starters, the bench unit is getting only 12.4 minutes per game on average. Philadelphia has a clear advantage in this area with almost 40 points per game coming from their bench on a nightly basis. Add to that the fact that they get their center and former MVP back in the line-up for this game, they are favorites for a reason. The Knicks have struggled keeping opposing teams off the glass and from penetrating on the inside, KAT just isn’t strong enough to keep a player like Embiid away from the basket. Let’s also not forget the revenge factor here, the 76ers lost 4-2 in the postseason vs New York last year, they will be fired up in front of the home crowd to get one over their rivals. We recommend backing the Philadelphia 76ers here.
