A division early start time Christmas Day matchup should result in less scoring than projected here.
It's tough for the players to play on Christmas Day having been with family and friends the night before. This is especially so when the game is very early in the day like this one is. The 76ers give up the second-fewest points per game and rank No. 1 in 3-point defense. New York ranks No. 3 in defensive field goal percentage.
The teams met in Philadelphia on Nov. 4 and the Knicks won, 106-104. That was the fifth time in the last six meetings the Under won.
The Knicks should be stressing defense at home following losses to the Raptors and Bulls. The Under has cashed in eight of the Knicks' last 11 games.
The 76ers have been an Under machine when going against above .500 opponents. The Under is 14-2 during those past 16 instances.
