Pre-match view
New York has the better team evidence and the home setting for a close opener, but Philadelphia's LeBron-led rebuild is a live threat, and no player forecasts are supported on either side.
A title-defending Knicks side opens against a Philadelphia team rebuilt around LeBron James, whose integration and the unsettled frontcourt and bench depth on both sides are the main sporting swing factors in a close-looking matchup.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
Experimental forecasts: accuracy has not yet been validated against historical results.
