The matchup against New York is a difficult one for three-pointers; when the New York Knicks are playing at home, the opposing team's starting PFs have shot for the lowest 3-point percentage in the league this year (18.6%).The 7th-most lethargic pace-of-play team in the NBA this year has been the Philadelphia 76ers.The New York Knicks have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 15 games, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Philadelphia 76ers.The 76ers check in as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA without the home court advantage this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).
