Philadelphia at New York

Premium Pick

You can't trust these Knicks as a big favorite. The Knicks were surging entering a two-game stretch away from the Garden, but they first fell at Brooklyn and then at Memphis on Saturday. Carmelo Anthony missed both setbacks with a sprained right ankle, and New York is now 0-4 on the season without him. Philadelphia is improving under the new coaching staff, putting in an attacking offensive style. The 76ers are coming off a runaway win as Jahlil Okafor had 25 points and 10 rebounds to lead the way in a 114-89 rout of Portland on Saturday. The 76ers are 5-1 ATS against a team with a losing straight up record, plus 9-3 ATS after a spread win. And the road team is 19-9 ATS in the last 28 meetings. Play the 76ers.
