Season series: Knicks lead 1-0
The Knicks dropped a 124-119 back end of a back-to-back Monday against the Detroit Pistons. New York didn’t cover as a 8-point home favorite with the Over (224.5) hitting. G Jalen Brunson had 31 points and 11 assists, while C Karl-Anthony Towns had 26 points and 12 boards. After a 9-game win streak that was snapped Jan. 1, the Knicks have lost 5 of their last 7.
The Sixers have lost 3 straight, recently suffering a 118-102 setback at home to the Oklahoma City Thunder Tuesday. Philly pushed as a 15.5-point underdog and the Over (215) cashed. F Justin Edwards led the sparse team with 25 points, while C Joel Embiid, F Paul George and G Tyrese Maxey were all sidelined. Along with losing 3 in a row, the Sixers have lost 4 of 5 — and 6 of 8.

Knicks at 76ers and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 111, 76ers 94
Moneyline
Maxey and George were surprise DNPs that weren’t on the injury report Tuesday afternoon. However, that could have just been management for the front end of a back-to-back. I don’t really see any of these questionables of Maxey, George or KAT to be issues Wednesday night.
I also don’t see the Knicks’ -300 ML to be a feasible option. Instead, go with the SGP of KNICKS ML + KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS 20 POINTS + KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS 10 REBOUNDS (-135). He has 20-and-10 in 5 straight.
Against the spread
The Knicks beat the 76ers in Philly 111-99 Nov. 12 — New York covered as a 3.5-point favorite. That game featured Embiid and George but no Maxey. They’ll easily blow the doors off the Sixers in this one. TAKE KNICKS -7.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Both teams are 6-4 O/U in their last 10. The first meeting went Under 213, and the Over is just 4-6 in the last 10 head-to-head meetings. I feel this one coming in UNDER 219.5 (-110) again with so many injury concerns.
