The New York Knicks host the Philadelphia 76ers on Christmas Day in the opening clash of the day. It will be interesting to see these two division rivals, who have high hopes this year, going after one another.
Before Betting on the Philadelphia 76rs vs. New York Knicks
The Sixers come to the Big Apple with seven wins in a row, becoming better and better. Joel Embiid had 44 points in his last game, which was the 76ers 119-114 win over the LA Clippers. The Process is again back in MVP mode.
One other guy looks like he could play at the highest possible level, and he already won the MVP award. That was James Harden, who posted 20 points, 11 boards and 21 assists in the same game. The Beard’s good play is of the essence for the Sixers, who would then become the top favorites for the title.
The Knickerbockers had several wins in a row, but then lost back-to-back events, both at home. Whenever the Knicks become good and the fans start to create hype, the team tumbles and begins posting negative results.
Chicago beat the Knicks in the most recent clash, 118-117, with RJ Barrett having the game of his life, 44 points with six threes in the same number of attempts. He and Julius Randle, who had 29 points and 12 results, were the only ones with decent productivity in New York, which is the main reason for their loss.
