Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks Prediction & Betting Pick | NBA Regular Season October 20, 2026
The market looks like it's overreacting to Philadelphia's offseason additions and giving us a discount on one of the league's most consistent scorers. Tyrese Maxey averaged 27.7 points per game last season and has a proven track record against New York, clearing this number in all four regular-season meetings while averaging 30 points per game. Now he heads back to Madison Square Garden with more offensive support around him, which should create cleaner looks and fewer defensive double teams. Opening night, a revamped Sixers roster, and a matchup against the team that ended their season last year feels like the perfect stage for Maxey to come out aggressive and remind everyone he's still a focal point of this offense.
