It’s Wednesday, January 15, and the New York Knicks (26-15) and the Philadelphia 76ers (15-23) are all set to square off from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
The Knicks have won just two of their last seven games losing most recently Monday night at home to Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons, 124-119. Jalen Brunson had 31 in the loss. The developing story is the lack of bench support the Knicks are getting. New York’s reserves played 45 minutes and scored just 13 points. In that same game, Detroit’s bench scored 46 points in 92 minutes.
Philadelphia’s problems are bigger than those in the Big Apple. The 76ers have lost three straight and sit in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. Joel Embiid is in and out of the lineup due to injuries and load management and Paul George has not brough to the court the impact Philadelphia was anticipating.
The Knicks are currently 13-8 on the road with a point differential of +6, while the 76ers have a 4-6 record in their last ten games at home.
