76ers -5.5
We're on the 76ers here in Game 3 on Thursday night. Phili blew Game 2 in dramatic fashion as they were unable to hold a 5 point lead late. Joel Embiid was visibly upset following the loss and made a point to say in the locker room that they're still going to win this series. Despite the loss, they can still take away something from the game as they can beat this New York team. They're going to have the home crowd behind them here too, so a quick start can do a lot for this Phili side. The 76ers need to lean on their defense and force the Knicks into some tough shots. They ranked 9th in the NBA in total defense during the regular season and they are at their best when they force tough shots and turnovers. This is a game where they know they need to come out and make a statement. They're the better team with their depth and they will show that here in Game 2. Back the home side.
