The New York Knicks will host the Philadelphia 76ers at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.

The Knicks (37-27) and the 76ers (36-28) are set to meet for the second time in the last three days. The previous meeting between these two teams ended with a 79-73 win for the 76ers, which turned out to be the lowest-scoring game of the 2023-24 NBA season by a sizable margin. New York will aim to close the season series in their favor, as the Knicks have gone 2-1 so far in the three previous head-to-head meetings. The Knicks secured their last two wins by double-digit margins, 128-92 and 110-96, on Jan. 5 and Feb. 22, respectively. The Knicks also own a decent record at home, 21-13, as opposed to the Sixers’ 17-13 mark on the road.

The Sixers have been struggling badly regarding injuries, as they have been playing without their top two players, Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (concussion). However, Maxey is slated to return to action Tuesday, giving Philadelphia a massive boost on the offensive end. Maxey has taken over the offense for the Sixers, and the talented guard has stepped up to the occasion with averages of 26.0 points and 6.3 assists per game. The Knicks are also expected to have a key contributor back in OG Anunoby. The veteran forward is questionable due to an elbow injury, but all signs indicate he’ll be playing Tuesday.

Aside from Anunoby being questionable, the Knicks are listing Julius Randle (shoulder) and Mitchell Robinson (knee) as out. Meanwhile, the 76ers are listing Robert Covington (knee) and De’Anthony Melton (back) as out alongside Embiid.
