NBA Is BACK! Plus, Commanders-49ers Recap, and the World Series Is Set. | Ringer Wise Guys

HouseIt feels like a situation where I can get comfortable with the idea of the Knicks winning. This game is going to be all of the pomp and pageantry. The Knicks, you know, as the world champions arriving on the center stage, we have LeBron in the house. The Sixers. It's just a very, very rich matchup.

HouseAnd I don't know if the basketball is going to be very good.

HouseWho can say?

HouseBut I do like the Knicks to go ahead and win this first game. And then if you pair that with my guy Tyrese Maxey, who I think is a very secret sort of weapon here, over 21 and a half points. I think as this Sixers team tries to find its identity, tries to, you know, kind of work its way into rotations and offensive schemes, they're just going to, in the fourth quarter, let Tyrese be Tyrese.

HouseAnd he is terrific historically against the Knicks. Six of the last nine games, 30 points or more.

HouseAnd eight of those nine games, at least 27 points. So Maxie over 21 and a half. This number's all the way down here because everybody said, oh, he's going to share. And I don't think that's going to be the case. I think in the fourth quarter, we're going to see Tyrese with the green light to do what he does.

HouseAnd that's beat this Knicks team off the dribble and score with some proficiency.
