New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
New York looks to respond Saturday after one of its worst performances of the season. The Knicks shot just 37 percent from the floor and struggled with turnovers in a 111-99 loss to Atlanta, drawing boos at Madison Square Garden. Jalen Brunson carried the scoring load but could not find rhythm from deep, and the offense stalled for long stretches.
Philadelphia enters the Garden with momentum late in a five-game road trip. The 76ers followed an overtime win in Memphis with a convincing performance in Dallas, where Tyrese Maxey controlled tempo and Joel Embiid anchored the offense inside. Their efficiency and composure marked one of their cleanest games of the season.

Matchup Breakdown
New York’s edge is defensive versatility. When locked in, the Knicks limit clean looks and force opponents into tough possessions. The issue has been offensive flow, especially when the three-point shots are not falling. Ball security and shot selection are priorities after Friday’s loss.
Philadelphia’s strength is star-driven efficiency. Maxey’s pace and Embiid’s interior scoring stretch defenses, while Paul George adds a secondary scoring option. The Sixers also benefit from Quentin Grimes’ production off the bench, which has stabilized second units during this trip.
