At a glance

The Philadelphia 76ers (4-1) host the New York Knicks (2-3) on Friday, October 30 at 7:30 PM ET at Xfinity Mobile Arena in NBA action. The Basketlog model gives the Knicks a 59% chance to win and projects a 114-111 score (Knicks – 76ers), about 225 total points. This season, the 76ers are 2-1 at home and the Knicks are 1-1 on the road. Since the start of the season: 4-1 for the 76ers and 2-3 for the Knicks (current streaks: 76ers W1, Knicks W2).

Reported injuries: Jose Alvarado (Knicks), Tacko Fall (76ers), Dominick Barlow (76ers) and Ariel Hukporti (76ers). Prediction confidence: low.

The analysis Model

The Knicks are favored, but the gap isn't huge. The model projects 76ers 111 – 114 Knicks, a margin of about 3.0 points in favor of the Knicks and a total around 225 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The 76ers will be without Tacko Fall or Dominick Barlow (and 1 other). The Knicks will be without Jose Alvarado.

  • The 76ers need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
  • The Knicks' defense allows clearly fewer points (110.0 pts/game).
