76ers vs Knicks Recent Meetings
Prediction
I thought the 76ers could take the momentum from the Boston series into New York and hang with the Knicks in Game 1. Boy, was I wrong. The Knicks are scorching hot right now and will look to take the series back to Philly up 2-0. New York has won four in a row by 16, 29, 51 and 39. The Sixers might have hit their ceiling with that upset against the Celtics and now Embiid has played more games in a row than he has in three years. Of all remaining playoff teams left, Philly has the worst defensive metrics of them all. I say the Knicks keep the pedal to the floor and win Game 2 easily.
Pick: Knicks -7
