The spread bet is -112 on DK and we like the Knicks down to +4. We thought about making the spread a double unit bet, but instead we like putting a unit on the ML at +170 on DK and MGM. We like that down to +150. The Knicks are not a good matchup for Philly. They managed to win Game 3 by shooting the lights out from deep, but they continue to not take advantage of their advantage inside. Throughout the season they had terrific interior defense but struggled on the perimeter. This is a tough spot for them given that New York lives on the perimeter. To be underdogs of this magnitude when we believe they are the better team is surprising. Their perimeter defense has been excellent when Anunoby plays, and they usually win the rebounding battle. In Game 3 the Sixers were just hitting everything, and those are the type of losses you can’t do much about, but the market is too high on Philly right now and we love betting the Knicks here.
