LiontipsPhiladelphia vs New York. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Without Joel Embiid, Philadelphia suffered a defeat to the Washington Wizards (111:121). 76ers' center missed a game due to illness. He will probably miss the New York game as well. James Harden will also miss the upcoming match through injury. Leader of the Sixers' offense will be sidelined for one month after suffering a right foot tendon strain.
Even when everyone are healthy results of Doc Rivers' team are far from impressive. Team earned just four victories in nine regular season matches. Philadelphia sits 8th in the Eastern Conference standings.
Pundits don't see New York as a play-off contender. At the start of the regular season team managed to win just three of seven matches. All of these victories were recorded at home. Tom Thibodeau's men managed to beat Detroit (130:106), Orlando (115:102) and Charlotte (134:131 OT). Team suffered only one home defeat so far, it happened in the game against Atlanta (99:112).
The Knicks are currently 10th in the Eastern Conference standings. But New York team played two less matches than Philadelphia.

Tip and bets
Knicks have no away victories in the current season so far. But we don't think that without Harden and Embiid the 76ers have the ability to beat the Knicks. So New York have a great chance to improve their position in the standings.
Our prediction - New York to win the match
76ers and the Knicks have already played two head-to-head matches in 2022/23 season. In both head-to-head matches opponents managed to beat the total of 230 points. We are expecting a high-scoring game in Philadelphia.
Our second bet is on total over 219.5 points
