We might not always agree with the online sportsbook but we applaud their efforts day in day out to bring you updates on basketball betting and other sports betting. Here’s what they have to say today about Knicks visit to Philadelphia:
Two division rivals will square off on the NBA betting board on Wednesday when the New York Knicks pay a visit to the Philadelphia 76ers.
The clubs have already met three times this season, with Philadelphia winning two of those contests. The Knicks won the last time they met, though, a 117-103 victory on Feb. 6. The Knicks are also 2-1 against the spread when facing the 76ers this season.
Amar’e Stoudemire has been an absolute beast against Philly this season. He’s averaging 27.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 1.6 steals in three games against the 76ers. Stoudemire obliterated the Sixers when they met in February, hitting 17 of his 21 field goal attempts and racking up 41 points. He added seven rebounds, four assists and four blocked shots.
New York will also have a new weapon against Philadelphia this time—Carmelo Anthony. Anthony was still wearing a Denver Nuggets uniform when the Knicks last took on Philly, and obviously he’ll add a new dynamic.
On Philadelphia’s side, look for Elton Brand to have a big game. The forward has been nearly as good as Stoudemire in this season series, racking up 27.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.0 blocked shots in three games. Brand even delivered in the 117-103 loss, going 10-for-14 for 33 points and 16 rebounds. He’s the only 76ers player averaging 20-plus points against New York this season.
As far as recent history, the series has been fairly close. Philadelphia leads 6-4 in the past 10 games, though the Knicks are 6-4 against the spread in that span. The total went OVER in their last meeting, but went UNDER in five games before that.
