New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers head-to-head record
The New York Knicks have prevailed in their recent meetings with the 76ers, taking four of the past five meetings, including their most recent one on January 16, 2025, 125-119. The Knicks have continuously outscored and outmuscled the 76ers, with Karl-Anthony Towns dominating the boards and Jalen Brunson spearheading the attack. Even though Tyrese Maxey has served as an inspiration for Philadelphia, they might suffer against a Knicks squad that shoots better and rebounds more when Joel Embiid isn't there to dominate the rebounding game. The Knicks' offensive power and defensive dominance should give them the advantage if history is any guide, but the 76ers will require a strong showing from Maxey and Embiid to end their losing streak. Although New York has the advantage based on current results, expect a competitive game.
