The Knicks (6-4) are traveling to Philadelphia to take on the shorthanded Sixers (8-2)

The New York Knicks are catching a break in the schedule despite the fact that they are heading down I-95 to take on the first-place Philadelphia 76ers.

Philly is going to be without a number of key players on Monday night, including Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle, and Isaiah Joe due to health and safety protocols. That’s before we even mention that Ben Simmons is still out for personal reasons.

Let’s take a closer look at the broadcast information, odds, injury report, and projected starting lineups.
