Detailed Write Up:
Philadelphia had a good spot to have a nice offensive game last night against Phoenix and they still struggled anyway. Scoring 96 points in a run and gun game whose winner had been decided very early in the game isn't a good sign at all! The Sixers actually explored well Phoenix's poor inside defense with 52 points in the paint, but their outside shooting was terrible with 4-23 3pts!
Unlike the Suns, the Knicks won't set a run and gun style tonight at all. They'll want to play half court sets and so, Philadelphia's offense will struggle even more due to lack of talent. It's also important to note that the Knicks' rim defense has been surprisingly good this season and so, this is another problem for the Sixers' offense tonight. On the other side, Philadelphia's defense got massively exposed by Phoenix's quick guards, but that won't happen in here, as the Knicks' guards aren't quick at all, especially with Calderon back. This game should be a relatively low scoring game and so, I'll take the Under in here.
