Brunson scores 16 of his 38 points in 4th quarter and OT as Knicks beat 76ers 125-119

By AP Basketball Writer The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Brunson scored 16 of his 38 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, and Josh Hart had the 11th triple-double of his career as the New York Knicks beat the Philadelphia 76ers 125-119 on Wednesday night.

Hart had 10 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists, Mikal Bridges scored 23 points and OG Anunoby added 17 as the Knicks won a rematch of last year’s first-round playoff series.

Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 33 points. Paul George had 26, and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Both teams played without their All-Star centers. Joel Embiid (left foot sprain) was ruled out for the sixth straight game. Karl-Anthony Towns missed the game with a right thumb sprain.

Takeaways

Knicks: After a nine-game winning streak in December, the Knicks had lost five of seven before Wednesday. The Knicks got 29 points off the bench, including 13 from Miles McBride and 10 from Precious Achiuwa.

76ers: The Sixers had won 10 of 13 games starting in late November, but they’ve since lost seven of nine, including four of their five home games in 2025. They remain stuck on 10 games this season in which Embiid, Maxey and George have started together.

Key Moment

After missing a chance to win the game at the buzzer, the Knicks scored the first eight points of overtime. Anunoby swooped in for a dunk, then Brunson added the next six on a 3-pointer and three free throws.

Key Stat

The 76ers trailed by as many as 16 points and never led, but tied the game five times in the second half. They sent the game to overtime on Maxey’s layup with three seconds left.

This is how we previewed this game....

If it wasn't for the appalling run the Knicks have been on since Christmas, this game would be all about whether the Knicks could cover a huge spread, but things have changed, even with the Sixers having a terrible injury record.

New York have two wins in their last five games, most recently a loss at MSG against Detroit (which we correctly tipped), the Sixers, who played last night, are one from five, their only win coming at home against the hapless Wizards.

The Knicks are 26-15 (63%), with a 13-8 road record, 5-5 in their last 10 games, sitting third in the Eastern Conference behind the Cavs and the Celtics. The 76ers lie 11th, with a 15-23 record (40%) a 6-12 record at home (worse than their road record) and on a L3 streak.

Lets have a look at how the main NBA tipping sites see this one before we make our recommendations.

(Our Player Prop Bet Tips are further down this page)

Dimers - forecasting a 112-108 Knicks win, tipping 76ers +5.5
Clutch Points - Knicks -6
Pickswise - Sixers on the moneyline, citing Philly's resting of 3 All Stars last night in preparation for this game
Sportskeeda - Knicks -6 and Over 219
Betting Odds - 112-107 for New York, Sixers +5.5, Over 219.5
Sportsline - projecting a 116-110 score for New York, slight lean towards Knicks -6 and moderate feeling for Over 219.5

We're going to have two game bets, a value bet on Philly on the moneyline. We see Philly as having around a 42% chance of winning this game, which is implied odds of 2.38, whereas the sportsbooks have them priced around 2.90, so that's value.

We are 2 and 1 from our recent value betting, and even if Philly don't win, we are still way ahead with this strategy after wins for the Pistons (against NYK, and Pacers (against CLE).

Our second game bet is on the Over 219.5, the return of Embiid and co, should lead to a high scoring game.

Profitable game for our tipping squad, although our tip for the Sixers to win the game lost, our tip for over 219.5 points won.
