New York won the first meeting 99-87 on Dec. 2 while shooting only 37.5 percent from the field, showing that it doesn't take much to beat the 76ers these days. The Knicks come off a 107-102 win over Minnesota on Wednesday as Aaron Afflalo finished with 29 points and Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. It was the Knicks' second win in a row after a four-game losing streak. Philadelphia is 1-26 straight-up and continued its losing ways with a 127-106 blowout loss at Atlanta on Wednesday. The Sixers shot 52.0 percent from field, but allowed the Hawks to shoot a whopping 61.5 from the floor. This is the first home game after a three-game road trip for the Sixers whose defense is worse than ever. New York is 4-0 OVER after an ATS win. Play the Knicks on the moneyline and also play the OVER.
