Why The Knicks Could Cover The Spread

The Knicks started this season off as one of the hottest teams in the NBA. They were 5-1 through their first six games. However, they have lost three of their last four and have dropped significantly in the rankings. New York's last game was against the Cleveland Cavaliers and they lost by 17 on Sunday. The Knicks will be looking to turn things around and start gaining momentum again with a win on Monday night.

The consistent leader of the Knicks has been Julius Randle. Through their wins and losses, Randle has managed to play great basketball and keep this team in games. He's averaging nearly 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists a game. If the Knicks are going to win this game it's going to be because of Randle. When he steps it up and pushes his game to a higher gear the Knicks become one of the best teams in the NBA. Look for Randle to have a big night on the road.

In the offseason, the Knicks signed Evan Fournier and that appears to have been a great move. Fournier has provided this Knicks team with instant offense and has been a great fit. He's averaging over 15 points a game and has quickly become a fan favorite in New York. If Fournier is hitting shots then the Knicks could be in a position to take down one of the best teams in the East.

Why The 76ers Could Cover The Spread

The Philadelphia 76ers had a rocky start to the season, but have quickly become the hottest team in basketball. Philadelphia has won their last six games and will look to bring that momentum into Monday night. They are coming off a big road win against the Bulls. The 76ers will return home from the road to a packed arena and excited fans, get ready for a big night from Philadelphia.

Leading the Sixers has been Joel Embiid, and he has been on fire lately. Embiid is coming off a 30 point and 15 rebound performance against Chicago. In that game, he shot 11 for 19 from the field and 4 for 5 from beyond the arc. If the big man can continue to produce at this level of efficiency then the Sixers should have no problem winning games. He is averaging over 21 points and nine rebounds on the season and is trending upwards. Expect a big night from Embiid as the Sixers return home.

Someone who really stepped up in the Sixers' last game was Furkan Korkmaz. The fifth year guard had his best game of the season and dropped 25 points. His playing time and productivity have fluctuated drastically throughout the season, but the stars aligned in their game against the Bulls and Korkmaz had a great game. He showed that this Sixers team is deep and anyone can go off on any given night. If one of the bench players steps up, as Korkmaz did against the Bulls, then the Sixers will have no problem taking care of the Knicks.

Final Knicks-76ers Prediction & Pick

This line is probably a bit closer than it should be. Many people are still holding on to the impression that the Knicks made at the start of the season and aren't looking at how they have been performing recently. New York could win this game, the variance in basketball is high, but the Sixers are the better team and who you should bet on. Philadelphia is the hottest team in the NBA and will have a lot of momentum going into this game. Additionally, they are returning home after a very successful two-game road trip. The environment should be great and the 76ers should be able to notch a home win against a Knicks team that is trending downwards.
