Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Final Score & Over/Under Result — May 6, 2026

This matchup reversed the script on recent history between these teams. Philadelphia arrived in New York having been outscored decisively in their last two meetings—losing 137–98 in May and 138–89 in February—yet the 76ers nearly pulled off an upset before falling 108–102. The combined 210 total landed under the 213.5 market line, with DAGGER's pregame lean on the under cashing by 3.5 points.

The opening quarter set a frenetic tone, with both offenses firing: Q1 produced 64 combined points as the teams traded buckets early. But after that explosive start, pace collapsed dramatically. Q2 generated only 59 combined points as defenses tightened, and Q3 followed suit with 56, narrowing New York's margin. The decisive quarter came last: Q4 yielded just 31 combined points as both teams stalled, with Philadelphia's bench unit scoring only 12 while New York managed 19. Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 26 points, 3 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Paul George added 19 points and Kelly Oubre Jr. chipped in 19. For New York, Jalen Brunson matched Maxey's 26 points and dished 6 assists, OG Anunoby scored 24, and Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 20 points and 10 rebounds with 7 assists. The second half's defensive grind—87 combined points across Q3 and Q4—ultimately favored the home team's ability to absorb the 76ers' pressure.
