Knicks at 76ers betting tips

Under 219.5 points (-110)

If you like full-strength, injury-free rosters, Wednesday’s Knicks-76ers game isn’t for you. Philadelphia’s injury report looks like a novel. Aside from a season-ending injury to rookie standout Jared McCain (knee), Joel Embiid (foot), Tyrese Maxey (hand) and Paul George (ankle) are questionable for tonight.

As of 1 p.m. ET, we’re still waiting on the Sixers’ injury report. Considering all three are currently day-to-day, there’s a good chance Philly will bring back a few key players. The Knicks have some questions of their own as Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) is also questionable.

However, at this point in time we have too many questions to take sides with the spread. Plunging on the Sixers to cover +6 could promise some success before the injury news. If Philly is to bring back some players, that line should certainly move toward the home team. But at the moment I’m assuming a total.

numberFire’s NBA game predictions have the two combining for around 216 points, and DRatings has that total reaching 214.5 points. Regardless, these numbers point to under 219.5 points, and that number could rise if some of these questionable players leave.

Regardless, I’m happy with anything less than 219.5 points – even if players like Towns, Embiid and/or Maxey end up playing. The 76ers are playing at the third-slowest adjusted pace, while the Knicks are at the sixth-slowest pace. Neither team takes many shots, with New York recording the 11th-fewest field goal attempts per game while Philadelphia had the second-worst mark.

In fact, each team ranks in the top 10 for fewest shots allowed per contest. Both defenses rank in the top 12 in fewest fast break points allowed per game. Looking at field goal attempts in shot clock areas, the Knicks and 76ers are in the top eight for most shots per game with 0-4 seconds remaining on the shot clock and under by 4-4 seconds Top 4 for most field goal attempts. 7 seconds on the shot clock.

The tempos alone give the Under more than enough confidence.

Josh Hart records a double double (+105)

Josh Hart has had something of a breakthrough on the boards, averaging 12.5 rebounds per game (RPG) in eight games in the new year. Towns, who has a 13.9 RPG average, missed only one of those games – in which Hart ripped down 14 boards.

If Towns is active, I’m still not too worried about Hart reaching double-digit rebounds. He’s done just that in 11 of his last 12 games and Hart is recording 16.0 rebound chances per game. For reference, Hart is joined in this category by players like Jalen Johnson (10.2 RPG), Bam Adebayo (9.8 RPG), and Deandre Ayton (10.0 RPG). There’s nothing “unconventional” about Hart – a 6-foot-2 guard – dominating the glass. Of course, Towns’ absence should increase Hart’s chances of collecting at least 10 rebounds.

In terms of scoring, New York’s wing scores 14.3 PPG. Since November 15th, Hart has had under 10 points in 1 of 29 games.

Even when it comes to Hart’s scoring, Philadelphia is a good opponent. He loves to attack the rim with just 3.5 three-point attempts per game while hitting 53.4% ​​of his shots within 10 feet of the rim. When Hart gets close, he rarely misses the target, with a hit rate of 71.9%.

The 76ers allow the fourth-most shooting distribution around the rim and the 11th-most points per game. Embiid has a defensive rating of 109.5 while George has a rating of 111.3. If either of them can’t be there, there’s always hope for Hart that he can score another solid goal on the night.

After Hart posted a double-double in six of his last eight games, getting odds of +105 for this prop seems like a bargain.
