Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks Prediction
The Knicks have been nothing close to what many were expecting to see in 2016 after all the transactions they made in the off-season. As a result, the Knickerbockers were bound to come undone and enter in to a state of disenfranchisement. Needless to say, this phenomenon has certainly materialized to a harrowing degree. The 76ers are a team we frequently like to back as they are almost always undervalued and taking back more points than they should be. Recent events would reinforce this notion. The bottom line is this, even if the Knicks have been economical this year against the spread, you can almost always expect to pay a premium when they are Madison Square Garden. Even leading analysts won’t deny this one. Philly has not been the Sixers of old and before the market catches up to them, we will continue to ride the Sixers even when much of the public seems to be on-board in this rare occasion.
