Embiid is cleared to play in this game and the 76’s are a much different team with him in the lineup and they are at home in the first game in the NBA Cup Group play. This is a rematch of their playoff series last season and these games are tight and close and are usually decided at the last second. The Knicks have struggled on the road this season and have lost their last three games. Take any points with the underdog as the home team has the edge. Philadelphia is 8-1 ATS after failing to cover the spread in 3 or more consecutive games. The 76’s are 25-12 ATS at home off a home win.

Best bet: take Philadelphia and the points.
