<h2>
Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Philadelphia 76ers</b>
</p>
<p>
The Sixers enter on a two-game losing streak capped off by a shocking 123-121 defeat on Friday when they hosted the Atlanta Hawks. The loss marks Philly’s second consecutive against the spread loss as the Sixers were favored by 10 points. Overall, the men from the City of Brotherly Love are 1-3 SU in their previous four fixtures.
</p>
<p>
<b>New York Knicks </b>
</p>
<p>
The Knicks enter in maligned form as they have remained for most of the 2018-19 campaign. Presently, New York sits alone in the basement of the Atlantic Division and they have won just one game in their last ten matches. Most recently, the Knicks were smoked on their own court by the Indiana Pacers on Friday when they were hosed 121-106 failing to cover in their second consecutive game when they were priced as an 8.5-point underdog.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Philadelphia<br />
</h2>
<p>
On the road, the Philadelphia 76ers are not a winning basketball team as they have gone 9-12 SU outside of the City of Brotherly Love this season. It does not help that the Sixers are prone to being overvalued in this series given their recent dominance combined with the fact they are 9-1 ATS in the last ten meetings between the two teams. Such narratives position the 76ers to be overvalued no matter what number is next to their name in terms of pricing.

<h2>
Reasons To Back New York<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Knicks have weathered the storm as of late as they have taken on a slew of quality opponents as of late, most of which have been on the road. The list includes the aforementioned Indiana in New York most recently but previous to this, the Knicks faced Golden State, Portland, Denver, Utah, and Milwaukee all in hostile environs. Preceded of course by hosting the present big dog of the East Milwaukee at home on Christmas Day. This team is battle-tested and these tough tests only prepared them more for a quality outfit such as Philadelphia. However, the Knicks get home court and added motivation given the rivalry nature of this contest.
