The Philadelphia 76ers will travel to the Big Apple to take on the New York Knicks in an Atlantic Division clash set to take place at the World’s Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden in the city that is so nice they named it twice, New York, New York. This rivalry series will serve to be the season finale for both units as the Sixers and Knicks will both fail to qualify for the post-season, yet again in 2017. The tip-off is set for 8:05 PM ET and is scheduled to be televised for regional audiences on both Comcast and MSG. Recently, these two bitter rivals have split the two most recent meetings that have transpired, with the home team emerging victorious in both scenarios. Previous to this, the Knicks had won five consecutive outings against the Sixers.

Home court advantage has been of the essence in this feud as of late as the victory has narrowly escaped the loser by slim margins. The previous two fixtures have been settled by just four points. However, the Sixers defense has been outright exposed as of late and the Knicks will be sure to capitalize given the fact they have disappointed so many supporters yet again with the lofty expectations they conjured in the 2016-17 pre-season. With the acquisition of the likes of Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose, the Knicks were expected to contend for the Atlantic Division but have fallen very far short of that prognostication.

Public Money Consensus<br />

<p>
In the early going we have seen a slight lean toward the Knickerbockers as a home dog but it has not manifested in any significant line movements. At this time there is no Money Line market established. The Over/Under currently sits at 202.0 with little indication of action on either choice.
