New York Knicks
Win Home
1.40
In NBA preseason, outcomes hinge on experimentation rather than pure competitiveness. The Knicks enter with significant advantages: home court, superior depth, and a coach in Tom Thibodeau known for demanding effort regardless of context. Their bench unit featuring Miles McBride, Jericho Sims, and rookie Pacome Dadiet offers reliable scoring and defensive intensity against Philadelphia's second string, which could see heavy minutes as they integrate new players and protect stars like Joel Embiid (coming off injury).
Philadelphia's 2.70 odds are tempting, but their preseason focus is likely on evaluating role players and conditioning. Expect limited run for Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, while newcomers like Paul George adapt. This creates vulnerability against New York's deeper, more cohesive rotations. Historically, Thibodeau’s teams perform well in preseason (15-5 ATS last 20 games), valuing structure and defense even in exhibitions.
While the 1.49 odds on the Knicks require a larger stake for profit, it reflects their higher floor. Philly’s experimentation and health management outweigh the potential reward of their underdog odds. New York’s continuity and motivated reserves should control the game late against Philly's deep bench, making the favorite the smarter play despite the juice.
