LINE MOVEMENT
Philadelphia opened as a 14-point favorite before the line dropped some, while the total was originally at 222. The spread seems to be -12.5 everywhere you look, while the total is either at 221.5 or 222 depending on the sportsbook.

As of Wednesday afternoon, 61 percent of public bets have been placed on the 76ers. Online wager info also shows that 55 percent of bets are coming in on the over.
INJURY TO WATCH
Knicks shooting guard Courtney Lee (foot), center Kyle O’Quinn (hip), shooting guard Damyean Dotson (foot) and point guard Emmanuel Mudiay (illness) are all questionable to play tonight. Center Joakim Noah (personal), power forward Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and shooting guard Ron Baker (shoulder) are out for the seaosn. For the Sixers, shooting guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (knee) is out indefinitely.
BETTING STRATEGY
Philadelphia won the two road meetings this season by counts of 105-98 and 118-110, while the matchup at home ended with the 76ers dominating to the tune of 108-92 on Feb. 12. New York has shown some fight lately, but Philly has also won its last five games by at least 12 points. I’m going to say the hosts dominate once again tonight as they continue to show they are playoff-ready.
