NBA Betting Guide: Knicks at 76ers

Two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference square off on Wednesday when the 76ers head to the mecca of basketball to take on the Knickerbockers. New York matched Boston with the second best record in the league beating the Celtics on Sunday, their 9th win in 10 games.

Entering the week on a run of their own, the Sixers are holding down a top 6 spot in the conference with 6 wins in their last 7 games. Coming off a winning 5-game Western Conference road trip, Philly will be playing its first home game this month.

Knicks at 76ers Preview

Atlantic Division rivals the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers conclude their 4-game season series with a matchup on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 inside Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philly. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET with ESPN televising the game.

Public Betting Odds Factors

The Knicks closed the week with an impressive 111-98 road win over the Celtics tying Boston for second place in the East. They easily got the payout as a 3.5-point dog on the NBA spread in their ninth win in 10 games.

Defense has fueled New York’s run of success. Over the last 10 games they held 6 opponents to 100 points or less and started the stretch with a suffocating effort against Brooklyn on Jan. 21. New York posted the largest win in team history in the 120-66 blitz holding the Nets to 29 percent shooting.

The Knicks turned a corner in the Brooklyn game. They had dropped 4 in a row and 9 of 11 entering that contest. The stifling defense allowed New York to cash the UNDER in 10 of their past 12 games.

An efficient offense has also been a boost. Six players scored in double figures in Sunday’s win over Boston led by 31 from Jalen Brunson, who leads 6 players averaging in double figures with 27.1 points per game.

The first home game after a lengthy road trip is always a tough one. At least it was a good one. The Sixers took their annual trip out west winning 3 of the first 4 on a 5-game excursion that concluded in Portland on Monday.

The Sixers rebounded from a loss to the Lakers by beating Phoenix, 109-103, on Saturday getting big outings from the guys needed to carry the team. Joel Embiid scored 33 points and Tyrese Maxey had 29 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.

Philly won outright as a 2.5-point dog getting their 4th payout in 5 games. The Sixers are 30-22 against the NBA betting line with the 4th best cover percentage in the NBA.

Knicks at 76ers Predictions

With the teams separated by 3.5 games in the standings entering the week the tie-breaker of head to head record could come into play later. This is a big game for the Knicks in that scenario after losing 2 of the first 3 meetings and it would behoove them to figure things out on the road.

As gifted as the clubs are offensively, it’s been the play on the other end of the floor that sparked their recent success. And the teams have played many low-scoring games in the past leaving the UNDER as a solid play.

Knicks at 76ers Betting Tips

This game could be a problem on 2 fronts for the Knicks. They are the only team currently among the top 6 in either conference with a losing road record. And this will be their 3rd game in 4 nights and the second of a back to back. New York is 1-5 SU and against the NBA betting odds in the second of their last 6 back to backs.

Philly’s 57.7 percent cover rate is among the best in the Association.

Though the Knicks have a losing record on the road overall this season they are 4-1 SU and ATS in their last 5 away games, including a win in Philadelphia.
