New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers: How to watch, TV Schedule, Channel, Live stream - March 16
The surging Philadelphia 76ers will host the New York Knicks at the Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday in an enticing 2020-21 NBA clash.
While the Philadelphia 76ers have won five games on the bounce and own the East’s best record, they are fighting off the Brooklyn Nets who are just a half-game behind them. Nevertheless, against the New York Knicks, it will be a tall order, as in the absence of Joel Embiid, who will be out of action for at least a few more weeks.
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have lost three of their last five road games, and things don't get any easier, as they face the surging Philadelphia 76ers.
