The Philadelphia 76ers have won the first three games of a four-game homestand by an average of 15 points and will be looking to go 4-0 SU at the Wells Fargo Center against the stumbling New York Knicks on Monday. New York hasn’t fared well in this series recently, as the Knicks are a brutal 0-5 ATS in their last five meetings with the 76ers.
Sportsbook opened the Sixers as 12-point home favorites with a total of 209.5.
The Knicks have lost six in a row and will be playing in the second half of a back-to-back set after falling to Indiana 121-113 on Sunday. The loss of Kristaps Porzingis has the Knicks looking like a completely different team right now, but they can take some solace in at least eclipsing the 100-point mark vs the Pacers. Prior to that game, New York averaged 87.2 points over the first five games of its losing streak.
J.J. Redick has been carrying the 76ers in long-range shooting, evidenced by the veteran converting 12 of 21 three-point attempts over his last three contests. Backup point guard T.J. McConnell made all three of his three-point attempts against the Clippers and is 6-for-6 in that department over his past nine tilts. More help is likely on the way, as Philly is expected to sign ex-Atlanta Hawks guard Marco Belinelli after he clears waivers on Monday.
UNDER bettors have been profiting in a big way when the Knicks and 76ers get together. In the last five meetings between the Eastern Conference squads, the UNDER is 4-1.
