The New York Knicks are a team that can break the Philadelphia 76ers’ winning streak. Yes, Thibodeau’s men have lost recent games, but they’ve looked fairly confident. The Knicks already beat the Sixers on the road in early November. They can do the same on the home court. However, Embiid and Harden are unlikely to let that happen.
The New York Knicks have scored 112 points or more in four of their last five home games. It’s unlikely that the home team will be down on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is likely to be a high-scoring encounter.
New York’s eight-game winning streak is over. The team lost their second successive meeting in the home court. After a fiasco against the Toronto Raptors (106-111), the New York Knicks lost to the Chicago Bulls (117-118). The opponents were separated by just one point.
The best player of the game, however, was a Knicks player. R.J. Barrett with 44 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
By the way, Bulls’ leader DeMar DeRozan didn’t leave much of a chance for New York. He scored the winning basket at the end of the game.
The New York Knicks remain in the top six of the Eastern Conference. In 33 games, the team has won 18 games and suffered 15 losses.
The New York Knicks are conceding an average of 111.7 points per game.
The New York Knicks have won four of their last five home games.
Seven games, seven wins. The result of Philadelphia’s most recent games. The home winning streak ended at 100% for the team. The 76ers played seven home games.
In the last game, they defeated the Los Angeles Clippers (119:114). Joel Embiid made a significant contribution to the team’s victory. The centre scored 44 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Philadelphia Sixers are entrenched in fifth place in their conference with 19 wins and 12 losses. The club continues to chase Brooklyn and look back at New York.
