The teams have met twice this season all in early November with the Knicks winning and covering the spread in each game at home and on the road.
New York has a road mark of 12-8 on the season. They have won three of their past four games following an 89-86 road win on Thursday to the Boston Celtics as a -1 point betting favorite. The total came in at under 189 points. The Knicks shot just over 38% from the floor and survived poor shooting hitting on 17 of 20 free throws as the stats were very close. Carmelo Anthony led the team with 28 points and 9 rebounds on 11 of 28 shooting. Point guard Raymond Felton is questionable for Saturday as he is nearly recovered from his broken pinkie. Since missing 11 games the Knicks shooting percentage and defensive field goal percentage has went in the wrong direction.
The 76ers are 11-10 on their home court. They have lost two straight and eight of their past ten games. They come off the 110-102 road defeat on Tuesday to the Milwaukee Bucks as a +6 ½ point underdog. The total came in at over 196 points. Philadelphia fell behind 28-18 after one period. They allowed the Bucks nearly 52% shooting in the loss. The 76ers went to the free throw line 13 times and send Milwaukee to the line 33. Spencer Hawes had 21 points and 12 rebounds on 10 of 16 shooting off the bench. We have seen a recent upsurge with the 76ers point total but as they have scored more they have given up more points. The team is 28th in scoring offense averaging 93 points a game.
