The Knicks and 76ers meet in Joel Embiid’s debut in Philadelphia for one of the most anticipated early season matchups.
Philadelphia is 2-7 and is coming off an OT win against Charlotte (107-105) at home. Before that, Philly had lost five straight games. Both of its wins came in OT, so this team could easily be 0-9 without Joel Embiid. His return is a positive sign for this team as Paul George has worked his way back but they are still without Tyrese Maxey (hamstring).
New York is 4-5 and has lost three of the past four games entering this matchup. The Knicks’ only win in that four-game span came against the Bucks (116-94). The Knicks won the first-round playoff series against the 76ers in six games. New York closed the serious out with a 118-115 victory in Philadelphia. This is the first meeting between the two since then.

NBC Sports Betting Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the 76ers to keep it close in the first quarter of Joel Embiid’s debut:
“The Knicks have only led in the first quarter in two of the last six games and now the 76ers are coming off an OT win, their second of the season, and welcome Joel Embiid back.
The Wells Fargo Center will rock tonight and it’s also the first time these teams have met since the Knicks knocked off the 76ers in six games during the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
This will be a great tip-off game and I like the 76ers to lead by the end of the first quarter. I took Philly +0.5 in the First Quarter and tipped the First Quarter Team Total Over 26.5.”
Here are the best bets our model projects for the 76ers and the Knicks:
