Prediction

The 76ers lost their last 2 games on the road including the game against the Knicks and there's a chance they'll miss Joel Embiid for this game. The Knicks have won 3 of the last 4 games playing some tough defense as they allowed less than 100 points in their last 2 wins. They have a good record on the road and have all of their starters ready to go. I'm taking the Knicks on this one.
