Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Starting Lineups and Depth for Game 5 (April 30) | 2024 NBA Playoffs

The New York Knicks will return to Madison Square Garden to host the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday for the highly anticipated Game 5 of the Eastern Conference’s Round 1 matchup.

The Philadelphia 76ers, after being down 2-0 in the series, aimed to even the score with two victories at home. However, their plans were thwarted by the New York Knicks, who took a commanding 3-1 series lead after a 97-92 win in Philadelphia on Sunday. The Sixers now face a significant challenge to stay alive in this seven-game series.

The Sixers had a 10-point lead after the first quarter and seemed in control, especially with the Knicks missing center Mitchell Robinson. However, the Knicks fought back, taking the lead in the third quarter and ultimately securing a significant victory.

Jalen Brunson rebounded from shooting under 30% and averaging 22 points in the first two games, six points below his season average. In Game 4, Brunson exploded for a career playoff-high 47 points with 10 assists, spearheading the Knicks' win despite missing key players.
