New York at Philadelphia

Philadelphia leaned on its defense to stay alive in Game 5 on Tuesday, a 112-106 overtime victory. They forced 14 turnovers and held the Knicks to 10-of-36 shooting (27.8%) from long range. During the regular season, the 76ers were ninth in points given up, 11th in field goal shooting allowed, and sixth at defending beyond the arc. It's going to be a tough task to force a Game 7 as the Knicks have a winning road record, including a 97-92 victory here in Game 4 as a +5 dog. New York had the second-best defense in points surrendered and has another attempt to close out the series. They also won here in February, 110-96, as an underdog. The Knicks are 54-37 UNDER the total after losing two of three. Philadelphia star Joel Embiid (knee) is not 100% and is questionable to play. With so much at stake, expect a fierce defensive effort all the way and the visitors to win the game. Take New York on the moneyline + UNDER the total.
