Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 27. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New York Knick

The Knicks have two straight losses, but the team met the only opponents ahead of New York in the Eastern Conference standings. First, they couldn't do anything in Cleveland against the Cavaliers (105:142), and then they lost almost as badly in Boston against the Celtics - 105:118.

New York is constantly losing to contenders this season, but in games with middles and outsiders, as a rule, feels confident, which is why they are currently in third place in the East. It should be noted that the Knicks have a 35-20 win total, and the New Yorkers have won 13 of their last twenty games.

Philadelphia 76ers

The team played the previous match on home court against Chicago and once again missed the opportunity to get closer to the opponent closing the play-in zone of the Eastern Conference. Moreover, Philadaelfia played perhaps their worst game of the season, losing by a final margin of 32 points - 110:142.

In total, Phila has eight consecutive losses. Despite a good roster, Nick Nurse's team is only on the 12th line in the Eastern Conference, and judging by the game that the 76ers have been playing lately, they are unlikely to qualify for the playoffs at the end of the championship.

H2H Meetings

New York won from Philadelphia both matches of the season series.

Expert Betting Tips

New York is in far from the best shape today, but Philadelphia is doing much worse. It seems that eight consecutive defeats for the Seventy Sixers is not the limit. We believe that at the end of the game at Madison Square Garden, this series will extend to nine games, and the match will be a low-scoring affair, as Philly's problems are centered on offense.
