The No. 2 vs. No. 7 matchup in the Eastern Conference is set after the Philadelphia 76ers advanced through the play-in tournament on Wednesday night.
They’ll take on the East’s No. 2 seed, the New York Knicks, in the first round with the odds… favoring Philly.
That’s right, Vegas doesn’t have much confidence in the Knicks, who won’t have Julius Randle the rest of the season, to stop Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and company in the first round.
Sixers vs. Knicks Series Odds
- Philadelphia 76ers: -115
- New York Knicks: -105
New York was a +105 underdog after the 76ers defeated the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament on Wednesday night, but the odds have shifted a little towards New York, but the team is still a dog to the Sixers (-115 to win the series).
