Two Eastern Conference contenders face off Wednesday night with the Philadelphia 76ers hosting the New York Knicks at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Knicks have been hot of late, winning eight of their last 10, though they lost the first end of  a back-to-back on Tuesday against the Pacers. New York is third in the East. The 76ers are sixth in the Eastern Conference and have won six of their last 10 and are coming off a loss to Portland. 

This is the fourth and final meeting between these teams this regular season, with the 76ers winning two of the first three matchups, though the Knicks won the last game between these sides a few weeks ago.
