Philadelphia tries reaction at home
The home team needs to win to avoid early elimination. Philadelphia showed improvement in the second game, but still suffered from absences. Joel Embiid remains out with an ankle injury. Mitchell Robinson, from Knicks, appears as a doubt due to discomfort.
Tyrese Maxey carries much of the offensive responsibility. Paul George and other rotation players need to raise the bar. The 76ers beat Knicks in some regular season clashes, but the playoffs are different.
- Joel Embiid out of the series so far
- Mitchell Robinson doubtful for Game 3
- Tyrese Maxey with high point average in postseason
- Karl-Anthony Towns dominant in the first duels
- Vantagem on the court now with Philadelphia
Escalação likely and team highlights
New York must maintain the foundation that worked in home games. Jalen Brunson leads the team with consistent scoring. Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges complete the attack. OG Anunoby has uncertain status due to muscle problems.
Philadelphia projects Tyrese Maxey onto the frame. Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. work in the wings. In the carboy, Andre Drummond or Adem Bona should gain minutes with the absence of Embiid. VJ Edgecombe appears as a young option on the rise.
