76ers vs. Knicks Prediction: Odds, expert picks, expected starting lineups, betting trends and stats

The Knicks and 76ers meet in Joel Embiid’s debut in Philadelphia in one of the most anticipated clashes to begin the season.

Philadelphia is 2-7 and has an OT home win against Charlotte (107-105). Before that, Philly lost five games in a row. Both wins came in stoppage time, so this team could easily be 0-9 without Joel Embiid. His return is a positive sign for this team as Paul George has worked his way back forward but is still without Tyrese Maxey (hamstring injury).

New York is 4-5 and has lost three of its last four games in this matchup. The Knicks’ only win in that four-game span came against the Bucks (116-94). The Knicks won the first-round playoff series against the 76ers in six games. New York ended the serious game with a 118-115 victory in Philadelphia. This is the first meeting between the two since then.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the 76ers staying close in the first quarter of Joel Embiid’s debut:

“The Knicks have led only in the first quarter in two of the last six games, and now the 76ers are coming off an OT win, their second of the season, and welcoming back Joel Embiid.”

The Wells Fargo Center will be rocking tonight and it will also be the first time these teams have met since the Knicks defeated the 76ers in six games in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

This is going to be a great game from the start and I want the 76ers to be ahead at the end of the first quarter. I took Philly +0.5 in the first quarter and brought the first quarter team total to over 26.5.”

Here are the best bets our model predicts for the 76ers and the Knicks:

· Money line: NBC Sports finds value in winning Philadelphia in ML (+120)
· Spread: NBC Sports has low confidence in Philadelphia +2.5 in the spread
· In total: NBC Sports has little confidence in a game with a total score UNDER 210.5
