Expert picks & predictions for Wednesday’s 76ers vs. Knicks game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans toward the Knicks -10 against the 76ers:
“Philadelphia is in disarray right now with eight straight losses capped off by a 32-point defeat at home from Chicago. After losing both meetings to Philadelphia and being without Joel Embiid this time around certainly does not give 76ers fans hope. The Knicks need a win after two straight losses and this is a quality opponent to earn a blowout win at home. I lean the Knicks -10 and the first half team total over 61.5.”
