New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

The spot here that the Sixers come in, once again allows us to take back Philadelphia where they offer tremendous value. The Knicks have been nothing like the team many were expecting to see in 2016 after all the acquisitions they made in the off-season. As a result of the recent debacles the Knicks have undergone, it is only a matter of team before the wheels come off this franchise and chaos breaks out within the Knicks ranks. The 76ers are a team we frequently like to back as they are almost always undervalued and taking back more points than they should be. The Sixers have covered four of their previous five against the spread and are likely coming in to this contest charged up and feeling fresh after they took down Brooklyn as a home dog. Contrary to the Knicks, Philadelphia always plays with no fear and more often than not they are live dog and tougher challenge for any team that is not prepared for them. The Knicks may be swept up in such a situation. For many aboard the Knicks, they are assuming history will repeat itself and New York will once again assert themselves upon the 76ers. However, given the recent events surrounding New York, it is hard to take action on them, let alone spot points to anyone with a time in such disarray. Sixers outright is the call.
