SUMMARY
- The New York Knicks play against the Philadelphia 76ers tonight.
- OG Anunoby is dealing with an elbow injury and will miss this game.
OG Anunoby and the New York Knicks will be playing against Tyrese Maxey and the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. As some fans might be aware, the Knicks made some significant changes to their roster midway through this season and acquired OG from the Toronto Raptors. New York has been doing quite well so far and currently holds a record of 37 wins and 26 losses. That gives the Knicks the 4th spot in the East
While the Philadelphia 76ers started off the 2023-2024 NBA season quite well, the loss of Joel Embiid to injury has certainly hurt the franchise as they now sit at the 7th spot in the Eastern Conference with a record of 35 wins and 28 losses. As these teams get ready to face off, fans might want to know more about the injury reports and expected rosters. Moreover, a prediction on which team is more likely to win will also be made available.
OG Anunoby is listed out for the New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers game tonight
Although adding OG onto their roster transformed the Knicks into becoming one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, he has not been on the court over the past several weeks and is dealing with injury. Despite not having him healthy, New York has managed to maintain a good record thanks to Jalen Brunson and the other stars on their roster.

Although the Knicks are dealing with a fair share of injuries, the same can be said about the 76ers who will not be playing Joel Embiid or Tyrese Maxey tonight. Be that as it may, here are the predictions on which team is expected to win this game.
Can the Knicks continue to win without Anunoby?
At the moment, it is clear that the Knicks are the better team in terms of record and health status. While they will not have OG Anunoby for this game, that loss cannot really match losing both Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey for the 76ers. Moreover, the Knicks have momentum on their side and are coming off a recent victory against the Orlando Magic.
