The stakes could not be higher for the 76ers as they try to avoid elimination. Philly is reeling from a 108-94 defeat to in Game 3 that gave New York a 3-0 series lead. In that physical contest, Kelly Oubre Jr. led the 76ers with 22 points, but it was not enough to overcome an explosive 33-point performance from Jalen Brunson.
This pivotal matchup centers on whether the elite 76ers core of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey can finally slow down a surging Knicks offense spearheaded by Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. One major storyline heading into tipoff is the health of Knicks star OG Anunoby. He missed Game 3 with a hamstring injury and remains day-to-day.

Knicks vs 76ers stats and key matchups
How do these two teams stack up against each other as this Eastern Conference Semifinal progresses? Through three games, the Knicks have statistically overwhelmed the 76ers, creating significant mismatches on both ends of the floor. The Knicks are averaging a blistering 117.7 points per game on 55% shooting. On the other side of the court, the 76ers are managing just 98 points on 43% from the field.
The Knicks enter Game 4 riding high after a balanced performance in their 108-94 Game 3 victory. Brunson dominated that matchup with 33 points. He has been the ultimate offensive engine in this series, averaging 31.3 points and 6 assists. The 76ers suffered that Game 3 loss despite a solid team effort led by Oubre, who dropped 22 points. The 76ers desperately need an offensive resurgence from Embiid and Maxey. The star duo is averaging an uncharacteristic 16 and 18.7 points per game in the series, respectively.
A critical mismatch to watch is the Knicks dominating the interior. The Knicks are out-rebounding the 76ers 41.7 to 33.3 per contest and controlling points in the paint by a massive 55.3 to 36 margin. Towns, who is grabbing 9.3 rebounds per game, and Josh Hart, with 8.7 boards, have relentlessly attacked the glass.

Key matchups in Game 4 will revolve around the perimeter defense of the 76ers trying to contain Brunson. Down low, Embiid must battle Towns to reclaim control of the paint. With the Knicks also holding a massive playmaking advantage by averaging 28 assists to 19.3 for the 76ers, the 76ers must disrupt passing lanes and dramatically improve their offensive efficiency.

Knicks
OG Anunoby (Hamstring) – Day-to-Day
76ers
The 76ers enter this pivotal Game 4 at full strength with no players listed on their injury report. On the other hand, the Knicks are closely monitoring the status of star forward OG Anunoby. Dealing with a hamstring injury, OG Anunoby is officially listed as day-to-day after missing Game 3. His potential absence would continue to test the perimeter defense and wing depth of the Knicks, placing additional pressure on the rest of the rotation to step up and contain the scoring threats of the 76ers.

Knicks vs 76ers player props for Game 4
Jalen Brunson 25+ Points (63% on Kalshi)
Brunson has been unstoppable in this series, averaging 31.3 points per game on 53% shooting from the field. He has scored 33 or more in two of the three games and is getting to the free throw line at a high rate, knocking down 23 of 25 attempts in the series. The 76ers have not found an answer for him defensively, and with his usage rate sitting at 33% in these playoffs, he will continue to command the offense. This is a strong over play.
Karl-Anthony Towns 10+ Rebounds (64% on Kalshi)
Towns is averaging 9.3 rebounds per game in this series and has been a dominant force on the boards. The Knicks are out-rebounding the 76ers 41.7 to 33.3 per contest, and Towns is a huge reason why. He grabbed 20 defensive rebounds alone across the three games. With the 76ers struggling to match the physicality of the Knicks on the glass, expect Towns to continue cleaning up on both ends of the floor.

Mikal Bridges 15+ Points (54% on Kalshi)
Bridges has been the most efficient scorer in this series, averaging 19.3 points per game on a scorching 65% from the field. He has elevated his game well beyond his regular season average of 13.1 points, thriving as the secondary scoring option alongside Brunson. Bridges is shooting 46% from three-point range in this series and has yet to commit a single turnover across all three games. His consistency and efficiency make this a reliable over bet.
Knicks vs 76rs prediction for Sunday
The Knicks enter Game 4 with undeniable momentum following their convincing 108-94 victory in Game 3. Highlighted by a balanced performance in their latest win, the Knicks are firing on all cylinders. The 33-point explosion from Brunson shows he is in peak offensive form, and containing him has proven to be an unsolvable puzzle for the defense of the 76ers.

The 76ers are trying to rebound from a tough home loss. While Oubre performed admirably with a team-high 22 points to keep things competitive, the star duo of Embiid and Maxey must elevate their game to match the scoring output of the Knicks.
The statistical disparities in this series make it difficult to pick against the Knicks. The Knicks are shooting an incredibly efficient 55% from the floor, compared to a sluggish 43% from the 76ers. On top of that, the Knicks are dominating the interior. They are bullying the 76ers in the paint by an average margin of 55.3 to 36.0 points per game. Even if Anunoby is sidelined again with his hamstring injury, the depth, rebounding superiority, and offensive efficiency of the Knicks give them a distinct edge.
