Smart Game Analysis
New York Knicks has a 62% chance of winning the game
Despite a significant rest disadvantage, the Knicks' dominant 13-1 home record and the expected return of key starters rested on Thursday favor them over an inconsistent 76ers team.
Key Analysis
- • The Knicks are on a back-to-back with zero days rest, while the 76ers have not played since Sunday (4 days rest).
- • Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart missed Thursday's game but are expected to return fresh for this division rivalry.
- • New York has turned Madison Square Garden into a fortress, boasting a league-best 13-1 home record this season.
- • The Knicks have dominated the recent head-to-head matchups, winning 8 of the last 10 games against Philadelphia.
- • Philadelphia's defense is allowing 116.1 points per game, significantly worse than New York's top-tier defense allowing 112.2 points.
- • Joel Embiid is listed as questionable with an illness/knee issue, and his absence would leave the 76ers without their primary interior anchor.
