Analysis

Strange things happen at Madison Square Garden in the playoffs, and Game 2 between the Knicks and Sixers certainly helped add to that alure. New York earned a 104-101 win after being down by five points with just 47 seconds left. After Philadelphia missed an important free throw, Donte DiVincenzo knocked down a three-pointer with 13 seconds left to send the Garden into a frenzy. Philadelphia has to feel demoralized after that loss because the Sixers have done a fantastic job defending Knicks' star Jalen Brunson. The former Villanova Wildcat (you can say that about a lot of players in this series) was 16-of-55 (29-percent) from the floor in the first two games of the series, yet the Knicks won both. How much longer can Philadelphia hold him at bay? Mitchell Robinson is listed as questionable for this one, and his status is one to keep an eye on because he's primarily responsible for keeping Joel Embiid in check. The Sixers went 21-12 against the spread as a home favorite during the regular season, while New York went 11-12-1 as a road 'dog. Philadelphia should come out with plenty of fire tonight, but we're more interested in the total. If Robinson is limited for the Knicks tonight, who is going to contain Embiid? How long can the Sixers' defense continue to contain Brunson? At 201.5 points, there is no room for error on the defensive end. The over was 19-14 when the Sixers were installed as home favorites this season. The over was 15-9 when the Knicks were a road 'dog this season.
