The New York Knicks can sweep the Philadelphia 76ers in the season series for the first time since 2015-16 with a victory on Tuesday. The Knicks have won four of their last five games overall as they move closer to clinching the No.

The Knicks have won three of their last five games by 15 points or more, covering twice as a double-digit favorite. Remember, that’s all without Brunson in the lineup, so there’s no need to adjust off of that. New York is simply blowing out bad teams as it tries to stay sharp and protect its playoff seeding.

The Knicks—without Jalen Brunson or Karl-Anthony Towns—defeated the Sixers, 105-91, led by OG Anunoby's 27 points, five rebounds and two steals. Landry Shamet added 20 points off the bench, shooting 6-of-11 from three.

Only one of the 10 players who suited up during that series (veteran guard Kyle Lowry) played, with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr. and headline offseason acquisition Paul George sidelined by injuries for a team that already is eliminated from the playoff race.

The arrival of Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks has significantly strengthened the team, especially in combination with Jalen Brunson’s leadership. This duo has been key to the Knicks' success this season.

After signing the veteran forward to a pair of two-way contracts, the Knicks have made their final decision on PJ Tucker's future in New York
