New York Knicks will take on Philadelphia 76ers in NBA action on December 25.
New York Knicks will take on Philadelphia 76ers in NBA action on December 25. New York (and Detroit) are a strong and vastly improved team this year and could pose a problem for the 76ers at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks defeated the Hawks on that day last year to make their first midseason appearance in the NBA in two years. Philadelphia is also returning to the big stage for the first time since his 2019. These teams faced off five years before Christmas, with the Sixers winning. And when they played in November, New York won 106-104 at the Wells Fargo Center without Joel Embiid and James Harden.
He has three rotation players to watch on the injury report. Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (ankle) is out, Knicks forward Obi Toppin (knee) and 76ers guard Tyrese Maxie (foot) are all out. Philadelphia will host the Clippers on Friday before heading to New York, where the Bulls are at home that night. The 76ers have gone 6-0 since losing their first game to James Harden after a month-long injury layoff. 5 wins 7 losses. December was good overall for the team, with the All-Stars sharing spots again to step up their game on offense.

Harden’s average of 20.7 points and his 10.7 assists since his return contributed to the team’s record of 6 wins and 2 losses in December, but the average the league’s top scorer, Joel Embiid, achieved this month. 35.0 points and 10.4 rebounds deserve most of the credit.
