New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers preview

While the Knicks have had a great start, they have slowed down, going 5-5 in their past 10 games. The record becomes more worrisome in their past seven games, as they have won just two.

New York last played the Detroit Pistons on Monday and surprisingly lost 124-119. All starters scored in double digits, with Jalen Brunson leading the team with 31 points and 11 assists, while Mikal Bridges and Towns contributed 27 and 26 points, respectively.

The Sixers, meanwhile, will play the second leg of a back-to-back after suffering a 118-102 to the OKC Thunder on Tuesday. It was expected, as Philly had rested almost all of its starters. Justin Edwards led the team with 25 points off the bench.

Philly is on a three-game losing streak and has lost six of its past 10 outings. Things are unlikely to get easy against New York, as Philly is just 6-12 at home this season.

Meanwhile, Tyrese Maxey’s points total is set at 24.5. He has been Philly’s best player and averages 25.8 ppg. While he sat out Tuesday’s game, he should play Wednesday and score 25 points at least.
