New York Knicks Form

New York head to Philadelphia holding a two-game series lead after back-to-back wins at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks, who finished second in the Eastern Conference with a 50-32 record, entered the postseason on a good run of form.

They won their final five games of the regular season, wrapping up that part of the season with a 120-119 overtime win over Chicago.

New York took their win streak to six straight games in their playoff opener as they ran out 111-104 winners over Philadelphia.

The Knicks then doubled their series lead in a dramatic Game 2 that saw them snatch a 104-101 victory over the 76ers in a wild finish.

Philadelphia 76ers Form

Philadelphia return home in desperate need of a victory after dropping the first two games of the series in New York.

The 76ers had to earn their place in the postseason via the Play-In Tournament, after feeling the effects of Joel Embiid's lengthy absence.

Embiid did return before the end of the regular season though, and he led them on an eight-game win streak to finish 47-35 and earn a second chance at the playoffs.

Philadelphia took their second chance too, fending off Miami in a 105-104 victory to set up this series with New York.

However, the 76ers' streak has been brought to a shuddering halt by the Knicks, and they now find themselves 2-0 down in the series following 111-104 and 104-101 defeats.

Verdict

Philadelphia will like their chances back at home, but recent trends have us siding with New York.

The Knicks are in fantastic form and have repeatedly got the better of the 76ers this season, so give us the road team and the points.
