The Knicks have won and covered three straight and put a beating on the Sixers in Philadelphia. It was a 128-92 massacre for the home folks to enjoy on a Friday night. Jalen Brunson put 29 points while Julius Randle got away with 1-11 shooting. The Wizards played last night and lost at Cleveland 114-90 and they laid down again at Cleveland on Wednesday 140-101. The Knicks to win and cover tonight.

We feel a bit like we could be walking into a trap here, as the play seems too obvious on the Knicks vs. the collapsing Wizards. on the other hand, there are some reasons for this recent New York resurgence that has coincided with OJ Anunoby arriving from Toronto. Three impressive wins on the spin since, including a rout of the Sixers last night in Philly. Tom Thibodeau is loving the extra flexibility he has with his defensive rotations now that Anunoby is in tow, and there are plenty of reasons to go against the Wiz, who have been outscored by 63 points while losing their last two games in the latest of many losses (28 already!) this season.
