76ers vs. Knicks: Betting Odds, Game Notes & Prediction

Plan on tuning in to watch the 76ers and the Knicks battle it out? Here is all of the betting information you need!

The Philadelphia 76ers are back on the floor Sunday afternoon for a special matchup. With Christmas Day here, the Sixers will be just one of ten teams to compete in a primetime game.

Entering the game, the Sixers are currently on a roll. After firing up a seven-game homestand a couple of weeks back, beginning with a matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Sixers got off to a solid start with a win in double-overtime.

Since then, the Sixers haven’t lost. With wins over the Hornets, Kings, Warriors, Raptors, Pistons, and Clippers, Philadelphia will go into the big slate with seven straight while sitting at 19-12, which is good for the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Sixers’ Sunday afternoon opponent will be the New York Knicks. Similar to the Sixers, the Knicks are currently on a hot run. While they’ve lost their last two games, New York has won seven of its last ten matchups. They are currently 18-15, placing just behind the Sixers in the Eastern Conference standings.

When the two teams met earlier this season, the Knicks took advantage of a Joel Embiid-less 76ers and collected a tight win. On Sunday, the two squads will meet once again by kicking off the Christmas Day slate with the NBA’s first matchup of the day.
