The New York Knicks will be facing off against the Philadelphia 76ers for the first time this season on Friday evening.
New York is struggling right now as they are now 2-4 and are on a three-game losing streak after dropping a 112-99 home game against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. They struggled as they were outscored 32-10 in the third quarter.
Philadelphia is 4-5 right now and are going to struggle a little bit as James Harden is going to miss at least one month with a right foot tendon strain. That means this is time for someone like center Joel Embiid to step up and really show his worth.

New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers Best Picks
This is essentially a law of average play as Julius Randle is 0-for-11 from beyond the arc in his last four games after hitting two threes in each of the first four games for the Knicks. He is shooting just 20.7 percent from three this season, which is more than 12 full points lower than his career average of 32.9 percent.
The 76ers allow 34.7 three-point attempts per game and 33.3 percent of them are falling against them, meaning there are going to be a lot of chances for Randle to take. All we really need is one in each half of the game and that seems plausible against a Philly defense trying to focus on playing without James Harden and that messes up some rotations with the forwards as well.
Julius Randle to Make Over 1.5 Threes (+110)
New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers have a big star in James Harden dealing with an injury and this team is built to have him facilitating the floor, especially with Joel Embiid being questionable and missing games this season already.
Mitchell Robinson is doing well as he is second in the NBA with 2.6 blocks per game down low and that means they are going to slow Embiid in the post and make him shoot.
The floor is not going to be as spread out and the Knicks are a good team that needs to pick up some more wins, especially against a bunch of top teams.
Pick: New York Knicks moneyline (+125)
