Command Analysis
New York Knicks
USACurrent form
The Knicks became the third Eastern Conference team to qualify for the playoffs. Tom Thibodeau's team has joined Cleveland and Boston, so it remains to end the main tournament on a positive note.
New York doesn't even think about slowing down and continues to win. The team recently beat Milwaukee (116:107), and then put Portland in its place (100:93). Karl-Anthony Towns and company are looking great this season, especially noticeable in home matches, where the club lost only 12 times – this is the third result in the Eastern Conference. There's a game against Philadelphia ahead, so the New Yorkers are in a good position.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ariel Hukporti will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Knicks have won four of their last five games.
Approximate line-up: Anunobi - Hart, Towns - Bridges, Wright.
Philadelphia 76ers
USACurrent form
The Sixers can safely be called the main disappointment of this season. The team lost everything, although it was one of the contenders for a place in the top 6 of the Eastern Conference.
A large number of injuries hit the team, after which the head coach forgot about the depth of the squad. It is disappointing that there are key players in the infirmary who had to solve the assigned tasks. Philadelphia lost in the last meeting to Toronto (109:127), which was the eighth defeat in a row. Nick Ners's team found themselves among the outsiders of the East, and it seems that this is already before the end of the main tournament. The next match will be in New York against the Knicks.
Disqualifications and injuries
Andre Drummond, Joel Embiid, Paul George, Eric Gordon and Quentin Grimes will not play due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
Philadelphia can't win for eight games.
Approximate line-up: Edwards - Yabusele, Bona - Walker, Butler.

1.93Tip and bets
New York has completed its main task in the main tournament and now feels more confident. Of course, the head coach can give key players the opportunity to rest, but so far the motivation to go out on the floor and win prevails. The Knicks are ready for new challenges.
Philadelphia continues to lose, and it seems that nothing will save Nick Ners' guys this season. The team already leads the top three outsiders in the East, so it is unlikely to be able to compete on a par with New Yorkers. In our opinion, the hosts will take advantage of the opponent's problems.
Our betting tip is for New York to win, taking into account the handicap (-12.5) points in 1.75
Bet on the total
The Knicks are playing for their own pleasure, because they have already reached the playoffs and are completing the top three teams in the East. The team will enter the floor with the optimal composition, so Philadelphia will have to take risks once again and go all-in, otherwise it will be difficult to cling to the points. We assume that the teams will break through the total.
Betting Tip - total more than 220 points in 1.64
Betting on statistics
The key players are in the lineup, so the Knicks are likely to dominate on the home court. The team is able to balance well between defense and attack, so it is unlikely that the hosts will have problems with Philadelphia's defense. In our opinion, New York will score well.
Prediction – New York's individual total is more than 119.5 points per 1.93
