Sixers Are Favorites Against the Knicks Tonight

When all of that nonsense “Could the Sixers beat Kentucky?” talk was going on earlier this season, the following was used for arguing the Sixers wouldn’t win that game: “The Sixers aren’t favored in any of their remaining games through the end of the calendar year, and likely won’t be favored in any game after either.” Well, eat that crow, CBS Sports and anyone else who tweeted that, because the Sixers are 1.5 point favorites against the Knicks tonight.
The lowly Knicks — run by the smartest man to ever live — have only six wins to the Sixers’ eight, and had dropped 16-straight before winning their game against the Pelicans. The Sixers, who drop one or two terrible games in a regular pattern (play a good game or get a win, play two or three terrible games, repeat), have lost two-straight. But, really, the Knicks are a total embarrassment to basketball right now and can barely put five NBA-caliber players on the floor. This should be a cakewalk. Or something.
Oh. Well, at least they’re favorites. Together we build.
