C Joel Embiid rebounded from the worst game of his career with a 33-point, 16-rebound performance in a 97-91 home win vs. the Sacramento Kings Wednesday. Two nights earlier, he went scoreless in 32 minutes of a loss at the Toronto Raptors.

Prediction

76ers 111, Knicks 103

Moneyline (ML)

There’s no doubt in my mind Philadelphia (-286) will win, but I can’t justify or take credit in advising someone to lay that kind of wood for a favorite. Every $2.86 wagered will profit only $1 if the 76ers win. Philly has won the last nine head-to-head meetings dating back to Dec. 2017. Keep in mind the Sixers are only 4-6 straight up (SU) away from home and own a 4-5-1 ATS road record. The Knicks (+230) are 3-6 SU at home and 4-5 ATS.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The 76ers -7.5 ( +100) is worth a small wager. Small, only because you’d like to think New York will show some heart after Wednesday’s blowout loss. The overall fact is this Knicks team is a mess.

New to sports betting? Bet $10 to profit $10 if the 76ers win by eight or more points.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER204.5 ( -129) is the STRONGEST PLAY. Every $1.29 wagered profits $1 if the teams combine for 205 or more points. Philly has played to four Unders in a row, while New York ranks last in the league by scoring 101.8 points per game. The Knicks have allowed 114.4 PPG over their last five outings. I expect the same to happen Friday night as the teams return from their short Thanksgiving breaks.
