Philadelphia will be hit with a double whammy in Game 1 as the 76ers will be in full letdown mode after finally beating the Celtics in a playoff series for the first time since 1982. In addition, the fatigue factor will be in effect as they will have just one day to recover after coming back from a 3-1 series deficit. New York is 6-3 ATS in the past nine meetings, and Philly has lost its past five Monday games. The Knicks are on a 9-2 ATS run, 6-1 ATS at home. New York has gone UNDER 10 of 15 games, and four of the past six meetings have stayed UNDER. The 76ers are 6-1 UNDER in their past seven road contests and 11-3 UNDER in their past 14 overall. The Knicks are 30-14 ATS at home this season. Take the Knicks and the UNDER.
