Coming up this week 🏀
Preview, experts' predictions, TV and injuries for tonight's New York Knicks v Philadelphia 76ers game
NBATuesday, 12 March 2024 at 15:07
In a Tuesday day where up to seven games will be played, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers will meet again after their curious clash on Sunday, where the Sixers won by a very short score: 73-79. This time, the two franchises will count on Tyrese Maxey and Jalen Brunson as the main stars of the game.
The Sixers will serve as visitors with their current situation on the tightrope of direct playoff qualification. The Pennsylvania franchise is 6th in the Eastern Conference with a 36-28 record, having won just four of their last 10 games. The absence of Joel Embiid is proving to be a killer for a team that used to fight for home-court advantage in the 1st round of the playoffs.
The Knicks, meanwhile, will seek revenge for that last loss to Philadelphia. The team from the Big Apple is fighting for home-court advantage in the first round. In fact, right now they have it by being 4th with a 37-27 record, but Orlando Magic is right on their heels with a 37-28 balance in the fifth position. As the end of the regular season approaches, everything is getting closer and closer.
Expert predictions (Possible quintets and result).
The main predictions for tonight's game place the New York Knicks as the winner of the game. With the presence of Jalen Brunson and at Madison Square Garden, the Big Apple franchise can't afford to lose two in a row to the Philadelphia 76ers.
