Chris Baker breaks down how to bet the Christmas Day NBA game between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks.

Expect the Knicks offense to roll against this 76ers defense in this spot. I expect Mitchell Robinson and this Knicks front court to exert pressure on the 76ers on the glass. The Knicks don’t have the bigs to consistently contain Embiid down low. They lost both of those games and allowed a ridiculous 37.5% offensive rebound rate to the Grizz, as well as an insane 45.5% offensive rebound rate to the Rockets. The 76ers rank 28th in defensive rebound rate on the season. With the way Julius Randle, RJ Barrett and Quentin Grimes have been shooting lately, you would have to expect that number to positively regress toward their average. They’ve climbed to eighth in adjusted net rating and sit comfortably at sixth in the Eastern Conference. The 76ers will be without Tyrese Maxey in this one, but Harden and Embiid are both back, so we should see the 76ers improve their offense efficiency this time around. Keep in mind that the 76ers played that game without their two primary playmakers: James Harden and Joel Embiid. I expect Harden to have tons of success playmaking for his teammates in this one. During this winning streak, they have played four teams that rank in the bottom seven of adjusted net rating, and they have played all seven of their games at home. The 76ers are traveling to New York on Christmas as winners of seven straight games.

Tucker’s absence in the final quarter of Wednesday’s outing against the [Detroit Pistons](http://si.com/nba/pistons) made sense, considering the Sixers were well on their way to a blowout victory. Then against the Clippers, he checked in for just 20 minutes. After the game, Sixers head coach Doc Rivers addressed the absence of the veteran forward, mentioning that even though he intended to move away from Tucker with his rotations in the final quarter, there was a bigger reason for his absence. Pretty much the last few weeks, so I’ve been battling.” “A dead [right] hand.
