The Knicks and 76ers meet in Joel Embiid’s debut in Philadelphia for one of the most anticipated early-season matchups.
Philadelphia is 2-7 and is coming off an overtime victory against Charlotte (107-105) at home. Before that, Philadelphia had lost five straight games. Both of their wins came in overtime, so this team could easily be 0-9 without Joel Embiid. His return is a positive sign for this team as Paul George has returned but they are still without Tyrese Maxey (hamstring).
New York is 4-5 and has lost three of the last four games before this matchup. The Knicks’ only victory in these four games came against the Bucks (116-94). The Knicks won the first round playoff series against the 76ers in six games. New York closed out the serious game with a 118-115 victory in Philadelphia. This is the first meeting between the two since.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the 76ers to stay tight in the first quarter of Joel Embiid’s debut:
“The Knicks have only led in the first quarter in two of the last six games and now the 76ers are coming off an overtime victory, their second of the season, and welcome back Joel Embiid.
The Wells Fargo Center will be buzzing tonight and it’s also the first time these teams have met since the Knicks eliminated the 76ers in six games in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
This will be a great game from the start and I like the 76ers to lead late in the first quarter. I took Philly +0.5 in the first quarter and tipped the team’s first quarter total to over 26.5. »
