Only one of the 10 players who suited up during that series (veteran guard Kyle Lowry) played, with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr. and headline offseason acquisition Paul George sidelined by injuries for a team that already is eliminated from the playoff race.

The Knicks—without Jalen Brunson or Karl-Anthony Towns—defeated the Sixers, 105-91, led by OG Anunoby's 27 points, five rebounds and two steals. Landry Shamet added 20 points off the bench, shooting 6-of-11 from three.

The 76ers are currently 11-27 on the road with a point differential of -6, while the Knicks have a 7-3 record in their last ten games at home. New York has won all three meetings versus Philadelphia this season by 12, 6, and 5 points.

The Knicks have won three of their last five games by 15 points or more, covering twice as a double-digit favorite. Remember, that’s all without Brunson in the lineup, so there’s no need to adjust off of that. New York is simply blowing out bad teams as it tries to stay sharp and protect its playoff seeding.
