The Knicks are looking to get back on track after losses to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics and they have handled the Sixers twice already on the season. Philadelphia will look to Tyrese Maxey and Paul George to lead the way in the third of four matchups with the Knicks on the season.

Maxey, 24, already is an All-Star, the NBA’s reigning Most Improved Player and a 27-points-per-game scorer.
