The Knicks are one of the worst teams in the league. Moreover, they even suffered a surprising defeat in the game against the Hornets in their last game. And now they are in the basement of the Atlantic Division, 24.5 games behind the Raptors. As for the Eastern Conference playoff picture, the team is 13th, eight games behind Orlando for the final playoff spot.

Prediction
The Knicks are not playing well. Also, the expectation was they will win against the Hornets at home. However, that did not happen as they were thrashed in that game as well. And now, they are facing the 3rd strongest defence in the league away. Therefore, I expect a win for the 76ers in this one.
