The 2024 Emirates NBA Cup starts on Tuesday night with eight games scheduled, including the New York Knicks versus Philadelphia 76ers East Group A matchup. It's the first game between these two teams this season. The Knicks eliminated the Sixers in six games in the first round of the playoffs.
New York had a pretty busy offseason, acquiring Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns via trades. However, the Knicks' depth chart is not looking great, especially with a bunch of injuries to start the season. They have a current record of 4-5, with four of the losses coming away from Madison Square Garden.
