Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Philadelphia 67ers pulled off a spectacular comeback to win game 5 and remain alive in this playoff series. Trailing 90-96 with less than 30 seconds remaining in the 4th quarter, Tyrese Maxey rose to the occasion and scored 7 points to send the game into overtime, with the 76ers eventually winning 112-106. The New York Knicks lead the series 3-2, but will blame themselves for throwing the game away when they were so close to getting the job done.
Joel Embiid had a relatively quiet game for the 76ers, but still managed a triple double of 19 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists. He has been playing with a knee injury through this playoff series and was completely off in the final minutes. The New York Knicks had Jalen Brunson returning 40 points in game 5, but fatigue is likely to get to him going into game 6. In game 5, Brunson played over 50 minutes together with Josh Hart and OG Anunoby. The Knicks also lost Bojan Bogdanovic to injury so their defense will be stretched in this upcoming game.
The 76ers look likely to ride the momentum of the dramatic win in game 5 to snatch another victory at home and force the series into the final, decisive game 7. The Knicks have to overcome the psychological blow of throwing away a sure win, plus fatigue and injuries are setting into the team. Thus, our Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Prediction is Philadelphia 76ers Win.
