New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers
Thursday, May 02, 2024 – 09:00 PM ET at Wells Fargo Center
Our AI Model suggests the 76ers and Knicks will combine for 201 points. However, top-rated sportsbooks have the line currently at 199, meaning there’s value in the Over 199 in this Game 6 matchup.
Adjustments For The Knicks
New York began the series very well offensively, scoring at least 113.2 points per 100 possessions in the first three games. However, the last two matchups haven’t been as good, as the Knicks have scored no more than 109 points per 100 possessions.
New York has had more games with a low effective field goal percentage in the playoffs. However, they’ve been terrific on the offensive glass in four of the five games. Look for the Knicks to get back to what they did earlier in the series tonight.
Philadelphia Will Limit Turnovers At Home
On the other hand, the 76ers did well offensively in Game 5, escaping the Knicks on the road in overtime. The 76ers didn’t get to the foul line as much as they’re used to and turned the ball over nearly 17% of the time.
That’s uncharacteristic of the 76ers. Typically, they’ll see the foul line a lot and keep turnovers down. At home, I’d expect more of that.
The Pick
If both teams start to score with their typical averages in the main categories, the Over should hit, as the AI Model suggests.
