NBA Pick
- Over 203 (-110) at Bet365 (check our Bet365 Review)
Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks
Tuesday, April 30, 2024 – 07:00 PM ET at Madison Square Garden
The AI Model likes the Knicks to defeat the 76ers 105-101. While the spread is already at -4, the total is currently sitting at 203 at Bet365, despite the Computer Model predicting a score of 206. Therefore, the Over looks to be the play.
Better Offense In Game 5
The Knicks actually had the lowest offensive output of the playoff series in Game 4’s victory against the 76ers. Tonight, the Knicks have the opportunity to wipe the 76ers out of the playoffs, leading 3-1 in the series.
Although the Knicks haven’t shot a high effective field goal percentage against the 76ers in this series, being home should help some shots go down. The Knicks have also dominated the offensive glass and should continue to get plenty of offensive rebounds.
The 76ers Won’t Go Away Without A Fight!
Although Philadelphia doesn’t have depth in the scoring department, look for Joel Embiid to bully his way to a massive night offensively. He and Tyrese Maxey have scored more than 60 points per game in this series and will likely do that again in Game 5.
Embiid typically has his way to get to the foul line and Maxey was the NBA’s most improved player and isn’t scared of the spotlight.
The Pick
The Game 5 at Madison Square Garden will feature more offense. I’m with the AI Model here.
